Removing a banger

[Chuck Sea/Tac]

You can use a chain and 7/16” bolts in the head stud holes in the block. Or as Tom says wrap rope or tow strap around engine. Hell I’ve seen a guy use strips of innertubes, added strip by strip until it lifts up.

If you make your own eyelet lifter, you
probably know what your are doing. If you find a couple in a flea market be careful. We found a nice looking pair and had them fail and drop the engine

Yes, the eyes need to be forged with the rating stamped in.

Here's mine:

Try these,Caterpillar lifting links..rated,and will side load better than those eyes

I think I sent a PM to you . I have a set of eye bolts made for pulling . free if you want them ...... it amazes me how you cant give things away

i would say that if you are thinking about taking the engine out, you should probably get Les Andrews' red book.

why? i took my motor out, i don't have his book

Yes I got your pm. I replied. Thanks for the offer, I made some of my own, thanks for the offer

Tried using the search option and can’t find anything on removing a four banger. Where do I hook the hoist and what size bolts do I use to bolt the motor to the engine stand.

From the tone of your post my feeling is that you have absolutely no experience with a Model A.
Why are you removing the engine?

I will probably get an ear full for this. But I grabbed a couple 7/16 coarse thread bolts threaded through a chain big enough to take them. my good luck it was a piece short enough but just long enough. and put them in place of some head studs. the head was off because my overhaul started as a simple valve lapping. gone awry.

blasphemy.
you have to buy something,common sense and mechanical skill means nothing,you need the book to cast spells,there are wizards in the engine..or you can just go here,a cornucopia of spells...for nothing,right here on the interwebs

Thanks for the suggestion.

Made the eye-bolts, worked great

Rented a hoist and yanked the engine out.

Mounted to stand. Time to get the frame cleaned and painted.
