How to Remove the Engine from the BMW 2002?

Model: BMW 2002 MK 1 - Years 1966-1977
Part: Engine

To remove the engine from the BMW 2002, first open the bonnet to access the components located inside the engine bay: loosen the bolts that secure the engine to its mounts and then disconnect all connectors and manifolds. Once the engine block is freed, extract it and then loosen the bolts securing the cylinder head: this will allow you to remove the valve cover, camshafts, and the cylinder head itself. The pistons inside the cylinders will now be accessible, which must be detached from the conrods to access the crankshaft and all additional components.
