    200kg is 440lb. a dressed engine weighs in at 400lb / 180 kg. it doesn't leave a pile for the tranny.

        Go ahead and pull them together, let us know if the engineer left a factor of safety when rating the hoist!

          lol

          in truth i'm sure a loads of folk have done it without even thinking to check. i could be in that category. i want to reinstall with engine and tranny attached if possible, and i rent the cherry pickers. i've never even thought to check, and rentals are the sketchiest of pickers ...
