picking up motor with aluminum heads
First off, i did search, and it seems to be broken again, so dont tell me to search.
just a quick question so i dont break something
can i pick up my engine, with trans attached by the accessory bolt holes in the heads? are they strong enough? i dont want to f-up the heads.

Sure y not, i've done it. you of course wanna use some good strong bolts and only long enough to go through the chain and the heads. make sure there tight enough.

Re: picking up motor with aluminum heads

thanks

Re: picking up motor with aluminum heads
You can use just 2 on opposite corners. But for better stability i used one on all 4 corners. i used 2 equal lenght chains and connected them together in the middle with a d-shackle. then just picked everything up by the shackle.
