Once up a time, when I was young and fit, I used to take engines out on my own quite happily. Nowadays, I find that the services of a well built grandson-in-law is a most useful adjunct. As has been mentioned earlier in this thread, it is not so much the weight, even with the gearbox attached, but the fact that all the furniture in the engine bay, from the front of the chassis to the throttle control rod, seems to get in the way!
