What engine size is it. I looked at the 1.8L and you will need special tools and an engine crane.

if it's the 1.8 t and if it's an oil sludge possibility save yourself some time and remove the #1 cam bearing. if there is peppery looking stuff in there get an engine. rod and main bearings are toast.to continue investigating i can warn you it isn't a fun back yard job.
