Engine Replacement Photographs
I took pictures of my RX-8 torn apart for the engine replacement. I used two different cameras is why the images start over in the middle.

I had the flywheel replaced with a lightened flywheel that you can see on the engine waiting to go in. the stock flywheel is the one sitting on the toolbox

I saw your car in the shop when I had my recall work done! 
It was cool to see the underside of the car with the engine completely removed. The shop manager also showed me the engine they took out with the leak. Ouch.

Excellent pics... sorry about the replacement though.
Does anyone know the basic dimensions for the engine (height, width, depth)? When I explain it, I usually just hold up my arms and say it's yay-big (without really knowing).
