Wow, I've seen it done in minutes, but nothing like that. �When I sold the
car, I really sold the engine. �The guy that came for it had the engine out
before I could get my tools to help him. �Since the car was being scrapped,
he cut lines rather than disconnect them.

I've heard stories about a mechanic that worked on a VW and did not get
paid. �He just went and repo'd the engine in the owner's driveway..

I am sure a person could do a complete engine swap in less than an
hour, including shrouds. It only took me 45 minutes to get an engine
out the first time I ever worked on a VW. The only hard thing is the
one 17 mm bolt/nut that holds the starter and engine to the tranny.
Rachet wrench makes it easy tho.
