I still have to remove the transmisson, but where is a good place to bolt up a chain to lift the engine in to my engine stand?
That Tangerine Racing engine cradle works good    |

QUOTE(Cupomeat @ Oct 24 2012, 08:38 AM)  I used to use the through bolt right inside of the oil tower and the through bolt right near the bell housing to lift up a T4 Motor using a come-along. Ditto .................. I'm usually by myself. So I use a cherry picker. |

I did not have a come along or cherry picker, so I built a simple reinforced plywood platform, bolted it to 2 identical floor jacks and lifted it up to the engine stand that way. I was able to wrestle the motor onto the platform since it was only a few inches off the ground.
A nice bonus was that the platform served as a good work surface during teardown to place tools, parts, fasteners, etc. |
