I hate removing engines. Only becuase I did it once and I didn't have a clue. I also removed a CV boot for some reason, and, the engine I was removing had a few oil leaks. Oh, and it was pissing it down with rain. Can't wait til I take the Corsa engine out

It's even better if you don't need the car after. Cut the front end off and yank it out.
My Corsa engine is imaculate though. Shame it's a 1.2 8v and totally worthless

Vaux just seal the sump up now instead of using gaskets, probably because the sump gasket is v v problematic

So very true..
I removed my Engine the Last time while pissed told my mate to attach the engine to the hoist i unbolted the engine started to lift next thing i knew the engine was on the deck and the nose of the car was pointing to the garage roof 
The dumbass hooked the hoist round the slam panel and forgot to mention he hadnt quite remember to hooked it to the Rope round the engine! I wasnt caring i think i knew at that point she was going to the scrappies!
