Putting the engine back together on the engine stand. Just finished torquing down the head. Will put oil pan on in the morning.
Then I need to use the engine hoist to get the engine off the stand and start putting the flywheel and clutch plate and new pressure plate on it.
Since the head is torqued down. What?s the best, safest way to hook engine hoist to the engine?
I see some bolts on the rear left side of head by #4 spark plug and holes for bolting on the generator bracket. Is that a good place to hook a chain to?
 
no matter where you hook it, you need to make brackets that can be screwed tightly against the engine, and the chain attached to the bracket. Pulling sideways on a bolt threaded through a chain is too risky. The best place to lift it would be brackets under the head studs.
