complete engine lifting points

cschoening09 · January 29th, 2012, 06:50 PM

ill be installing the new motor soon as a complete. with intake and throttle body. where do you guys usually put an eylet or bolt to drop the engine in. i now have a load leveler. before with just chains i was going from top bellhousing bolt to alternator bolt hole. but with the new one that method is crushing the wire harness in the rear.

The ones I used were the two just above the water pump (or the two timing cover studs near there work as well), and two on the rear of the intake.

Whatever you do, DO NOT attach anything to the rear face of the block/heads. There will not be enough clearance to install the motor, I learned that the hard way.

ok thanks...do just re-torque the intake bolts when finished? cuz i thought theree was a torque sequence for the intake manifold

That should work. I don't see a reason not to, especially since the outermost are typically the last to torque anyway.
