Second, be prepared to spend some time in the garage. Finally, be patient – replacing an engine can take a while. Let’s take a look at each of these points in more detail.
Tools and Supplies:
To replace an engine in a car, you’ll need the right tools and supplies. You’ll need a socket set, ratchet, wrench, Torx screwdriver, spark plugs (or plug wires), oil pan gasket, and jack stand. You might also want to have extra parts like air filters and belts on hand.

How to install the engine
1. Remove the front bumper by unscrewing the two bolts that hold it in place. There are also two bolts on the rear of the bumper, but they are covered by the exhaust pipe.
2. Move the rear seat all the way to the left and then remove it by unscrewing the six screws that hold it in place.
3. Loosen the eight bolts holding on the engine cover and then pull it off.
4. Disconnect the battery cable and antenna cable, if applicable.
5. If you have a cold air intake system, now is a good time to disconnect it from its mounting bracket.
6. Remove four bolts that secure the engine to its cradle and then pull it out of the car.
7. Clean off any oil or grease that has accumulated on the engine during installation and then reinstall it into its cradle using new bolts. Make sure that the oil seals on either side of the engine are properly installed before tightening down the bolts.
8. Reconnect both battery cables and antennas, if applicable, and then reattach the engine cover using four bolts. Torque them to 15-20 Nm (12-15ft. lbs.).
9. Replace the front bumper and then screw it into place using the two bolts that were removed in step 1.
10. Replace the rear seat and screws and then reinstall the door panels.
11. Drive your car for a while to make sure that everything works properly.
