Easier lifting with the engine the right way up. | |

I use a welded link chain looped under the engine, back and front, and connected with a HT bolt and big washers. Then a hand operated weston differential chain winch hung from a ceiling rsj inserted for the purpose when I built the garage. | |

Over 57 years of Sprite ownership I have used the lifting eyes on many A-Series engines, both mine and others, and not experienced any problems using Haltrack, block-n-tackle, or my crane. | |

Quite right Anamn. People (and this now includes moi) make a big thing about engine removal preparing for weeks in advance. And yet, when this car and I were both a lot younger, I remember setting a stop watch and removing the engune and gearbox in 1hr, 10 minutes. That was from a running car, driven in to the garage to power unit sitting on the floor. And reverse was just over 1hr 20, back to car... | |

I noticed that my MGB with a 25D distributor started to misfire a bit, slightly intermittently. | |

I have two sets of the lifting eyes, and the thick washers BUT never made the connection that some cars came with the lifting eyes ! | |
