Engine lifting points?

Post by Rotoariesarecool »

Lifting the engine and trans out (1.8L) and wondering what the best lift points are. I saw talk of a hook on the front but mine doesnt seem to have that anymore

When I pulled mine out I bolted the bracket from my leveler to the engine using one of the cam tower bolts in the front. I don't have a good picture of that. For the other side I wrapped the chain around the exhaust manifold, which I hadn't removed (picture below). You could also probably use another cam tower bolt in the back if you are not going to pull it with the manifold.
