Wanted to loan: Engine hoist

[Jamo]

I've swapped a few S2 engines without a hoist now. As long as the rad is out of the way so you can get in the engine bay with it. I put a big block of wood under the sump, so the engine can't drop. It's just a case of getting the dowels lined up on the bell housing, a bit of a wiggle and the engine and box slot together.
I'd be pulling an S2 engine out this weekend, if it wasn't for Billing.

When you coming to do mine then?

Let's think about this for a minute, struggle and potentially have an accident, or walk up and slide the engine into situ, and to the bolts up while having a cup of tea?

I know which I would rather do!

Cheers,

Steve.

With my car in its current position it's inpractical to use a hoist. But I've found hoists more awkward to use anyway. It's not that easy to get the engine at the angle you want it.
With a plank of wood under the engine bay it's posible to slide the engine in without the risk of dropping it. Although I decided to lift mine in as I didn't want to scratch my sump.

If you want a hand let me know. My work comes at a price though.

How many times do I have to say I'm not that sort of a person

It's getting close to that time I must admit i've got work out logistics but this is for my thread.

I'm just glad to see Ross full of energy about his S2 again
