Daz - Engine Hoist

There's one for less than $200 at the Costco on the Queensway near where the Crap Tyre store was.

I got mine from princess auto. I went all out and got the "4-wheeler". I don't want to flip my new engine because I cheaped out on the stand.

agreed it does look alright... same one here in London if yer referring to the black 3 ton jack with 2 stands... only gripe about it is that its rather high off the ground so if may be of some clearance issues for those with lowered rides and gfx. Still a good deal tho

I bought one of those about two years ago after my former brother-in-law ripped me off for two jack stands.

It won't go under the cross member but it will fit under the front jacking points so as I've got two floor jacks now I just put one on each side to raise the front.

The car sits fairly low with the stock springs. There's about 1.5 inches clearance, maybe more, between the jacking points and the jack.

The one there selling has some stupid peddle on the side to raise the jack or something - Mine doesn't have that thankfully. All in all it's nice piece - heavy bastard though.

yup,the pedal is there to save pumping..press on the jack and it goes up all the way to the car..My jack is 10 yrs old and its a lot lower than the Costco version
