Pulled motor, now im pissed off

[h0lmes]

how the hell do you lift a motor on a hoist with a chain wrapped around the motor mounts?

It was wrapped around the mounting arms.

I still can't picture it.

I still can't picture it.

Chain around mounting arms, not that hard people.

It would rotate and flip over though. Didn't see the loop/hook towards the front and the one back near the tranny?

[ed chitwood]

Don't do it! Get another engine to risky.

Your fault for improperly securing the motor to the hoist. Imagine if you were under it when it fell.

I would scrap it. Too many tolerances in the engine that could potentially be damaged to warant wasting your time with.

M50s are so easy to come by I would just let this one go and get another.

Yea..dude...basica physics.

The engine is entirely unstable when supported by the mounts.

I would be nervous lifintg my engine more than 5-6 inches secured that way!

The motor is fine except for a cracked valve cover. The valve train is completely fine, no cracks in the head or anything. I will be tearing the motor down to replace all the gaskets and to do a more thorough check.
