Honda suggest the bottom... I did a J thru the top and made it safely without damaging the engine bay. You are swapping an F, its a skinner engine. I would just remove the hood, radiator, air intake, battery and unplug and lift thru the top. Thats just my opinion. If you have access to a shop bottom is fine, if its in your own garage top is easiest.

Hi FNCONE, I'm slowly gathering up all the components to having my F23A1 replaced with a F23A (JDM). In your honest opinion, which way do you recommend removing the engine, through the top or the bottom, and what are the good and bad of each option? I have access to a cherry picker with a leveler and also a floor jack that can lift up to 24''. I've done VW's in the past through the top with ease, but the Honda Service manual states to have the engine removed from the bottom. My initial plan is to clear out as much as possible in the engine bay (moving stuff out of the way, and removing the radiator), then lifting it from the top. It looks tight and I don't want to thrash the engine bay. Thanks in advance for any input! - Slowfinger
