I have never trusted the two lengthened rocker studs. My rocker shaft comes
off and I use two of the head bolts, one front , one back on opposing sides. I
built two angled brackets to fit under the nuts that I affix a chain to and can
make attitude adjustments by using different links for the lift point. Of
course I try to figure that out beforehand.

I too am wary of lifting everything with 2 bolts. I use one plate that bolts on
the right front, in place of the generator mounting plate, and another on the
left rear, using the 3 rearmost exhaust manifold studs. 8 bolts in shear
instead
