Default F15 engine removal

It's been several years since I removed an engine - this one was easier than some because of the simpler gearbox mount on an F15, but the state of general rot made some things more difficult. Possibly the most awkward thing was removing the clutch clevis pin at the pedal end which had frozen with rust and is not accessible to a punch. The problem was solved with liberal amounts of 'cat piss' and working it back and forward with a pinchbar wedged into the available space until it popped out.
To make the job a little easier I removed the gearbox lid to discover it had turned into a modern sculpture inside:
