All it says is to "remove rocker arm cover and attach engine lifting tool."we have disconnected everything except engine mounts and are sorta stumped.Just wrap chain around rocker arms,back up the ol jeep and give er a tug? Just kidding. Any advice from those in the know?-Thank you

Take one head bolt with you and match the size.Remove the rocker assembly remove two head bolts and off you go.
Good luck,and be safe that engine is a heavy one!!!

The thread size is 1/2" X 13. I like to use heavy-duty forged eye bolts, if they can be found with a long enough thread to duplicate the length of the head bolt. Otherwise, be sure to weld the eye into a continuous loop before putting the weight of the engine on them. It's also a good idea to weld a heavy flat washer just below the eye so the eye bolts can be turned down snug against the head.

I'm used to pipe rings being the light duty clamps used to hold water pipes to the ceiling joists.( pic ) My concept doesn't fit what you're saying. regards, Leon | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 | Sorry, I was referring to something like 1/2" wide slices of 3" heavy wall pipe or any suitable steel ring that will support the weight.
