I've done this a time or two, but never photographed the sequence, so here you go.

Shipping a single crate with a 200# engine in it costs more than shipping two heavy duty plastic totes.

(this assumes you have removed the engine assembly from the frame, perhaps with a sawzall or torch?)

First (and don't forget), drain all fluids. Never mind the puddle stain on my driveway because I didn't plug the tach drive hole before relocating the engine assembly from one garage bay to the other...

Next, drain the primary and remove the cover.

Look, Ma! No locktab washer! Remove the pressure spring retaining ring by "unscrewing" it with a screwdriver and getting out of the way just in time as it pops off, or drive 64 miles (round trip) and fetch your spring compressor tool to remove it with. I saved the trip and didn't get injured.
