I have an engine sling that allows you to tilt the engine via a bar that changes the fulcrum point and that bar has two chains coming off of each end of the lift bar.

Suggestion · Original poster

I was going to use the engine mount bracket on the front by putting eyebolts through the holes where the engine mounts go through for the front but I'm concerned the bracket will bend when I tilt it to put in the engine stand.

Suggestion

I lift my m96 engines using a three point connection, one to that loop at the back of the engine, and two on a spare engine support bracket that I have setup with two eye bolts.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can someone share photo's description of hoisting engine (mine is 2004 3.6 C2)? I have an engine sling that allows you to tilt the engine via a bar that changes the fulcrum point and that bar has two chains coming off of each end of the lift bar. I was going to use the engine mount bracket on the front by putting eyebolts through the holes where the engine mounts go through for the front but I'm concerned the bracket will bend when I tilt it to put in the engine stand. Alternatively there are two holes in that mount bracket that are closer to the center of the engine that I could hook into. On the back of the engine (transmission side but trans is already off, I see a bracket with a large hole (just above the starter) that I believe is lift point that is balanced if the transmission is on. My concern is that bracket is not very thick plate steel. it seems pretty thin for a lifting bracket though. I was going to attach the other end of the bar of the sling to that bracket. my engine stand has a slight angle to it so I have to tilt the engine with the yoke attached to the backside to get it to slide into the engine stand. Or I will tilt the engine stand to get the yoke in and then lower the engine so the stand sits flat on the floor.

POST 2Original post

I just made a sling (with heavy strap webbing that i got online) that wrapped around each side under the heads (front to back) and lifted with the hoist from the center of the straps where they were all tied into a series of loops. But you could tie some webbing to that bracket and something around the heads to have a better balance with your sling.

I lift my m96 engines using a three point connection, one to that loop at the back of the engine, and two on a spare engine support bracket that I have setup with two eye bolts. I have a dedicated chain setup with three chains joined by a clevis that I use. This is mostly to transfer an engine to my harbor freight lift table that does the real work...
