[QUOTE=Tin Lizard;316084]Hello all,

This common head puller / engine lift plate appears to put the side to side balance point on the driver's side of the middle head studs. Anyone have an opinion on how well placed it is?

To answer your question:
The balance on this engine lift is about as good as you can get. I've installed around 20 engines in the past three years and it helps greatly in the process to have the flywheel housing meeting the rear motor mounts correctly.
