Would that go for spreader tips as well? I have some serious corrosion issues

Take the entire shroud off at its end points and take it to a rigging shop.
Don’t mess around with shrouds

IMHO, messing around with the rigging is one place where I will pay a
professional to fix it. Except for an abandon ship from a sinking vessel,
having a gravity storm with your rigging is probably
I would recommend you get a rigger to look at it. If you have the old style
NAVTEC fittings it will be much easier to remove with the mast out of the boat.

I am on A4 number 3. Take the manifold off starter off alternator off before
you start. Also analyze mounts. Mine come off the engine beds or you can lift
the engine up and over

I did this a couple of years ago and found it much easier than anticipated. I
was dealing with an early C 33 so different configuration. I built a plywood
platform to cover the cabin sole so as not to scratch it. I used a chain fall
attached to the main halyard to lift and a block and tackle to
Ian,
Last winter I pulled Anchovy’s A4 out. I built a cradle out of scrap 2X lumber
to slide the engine onto as it left the engine bay.
If you unbolt the A4 style mounts from the rails, instead of unbolting the
mounts from the engine, the engine will simply slide right out.
Remember to
Consider a fresh water cooling kit. What is the guy replacing on the rebuilt
engine? Coil, rebuilding carb, fuel pump? When I was looking for any A4
replacement for my Viking there were a few people offering "rebuilt" engines
but, all they were doing was wire brushing and spray painting
What do the mounts look like? Most engine mounts bolt down to a rail and
have a single stud pointing up that the engine slides down on. You may
find it easier to unbolt from the rail and slide the engine forward rather
than unbolt the vertical stud and try to lift it off. Be sure to mark
