Engine Removal
I read the past post referencing engine removal. Know one mentioned using "Lifting Hooks" as shown in the Model T Ford Service Book. I do not have lifting hooks -but THINK lifting straps would work as well. I am sure I would have to remove the intake and exhaust manifolds not to damage them. The picture in the book sure looked simple. Any thoughts? Thanks Guys

Re: Engine Removal
The parts vendors sell a device that screws into the #3 spark plug hole and one can hook onto that and lift the eng/trans out. Seems to balance pretty well.

Re: Engine Removal
Yes that is correct. I have head off and found issue for rebuild and didn't want to re-install head. But I see my mistake - thinking I could use strap in same area as LIFT HOOKS. I think having LIFT HOOKS would be cool to add to the other things on the wall. Maybe I could find some - In meantime I will look at other ways to lift engine out. Thanks

Re: Engine Removal
Here's a shot of my Speedster engine with a home made lifting hook installed.
Its made from the base of an old pull apart spark plug with a suitable ring welded to it. Cheers, Rob |
