- I am thinking about using a 1 ton chain hoist to pull the engine on my Healey (about 600 # without the gearbox ). If I run an eye bolt through the ceiling and spread the weight over several joists, w

- When I used to pull engines without an engine lift, I'd throw a 6x6 timber (about 8-12' long) across the joists. Drill through and install a stout (forged is best) eye-bolt with fender washers to di

- I'm about ready to do the same thing (my garage is about 24x24), but I'm thinking of propping up the joist with a couple of 4x4s or 2x6s, one on either side of the car. Might make two A-frames of 2x4

- I doubled a pair of 2x6's about 8 feet long and spanned about 3 joists. Took a strong chain and wrapped it about 4 turns around the beam, secured the chain with a bolt and connected the hoist to the

- Don't use an eyebolt. Put a 2x6 across several joists. Put a length of chain around the 2x6. Attach your hoist to this loop of chain.

- You're absolutely right. I don't know why I didn't remember that almost everytime I've pulled an engine that way, I used a chain around the 4" or bigger beam. Never a great idea to drill through the

- Buy a hoist. Shouldn't cost more than $250 including the tilt bar. Much easier to use. You might be able to rent the hoists, if you don't plan on ever needing one again.

- You are going to have to bite the bullet. Go up in the attic. Place your beam across several joists. Cut holes in the sheet-rock for the chain loop. I recall swapping a new Cadillac engine in Flip Sh

- Peter this is the method I use. Get 2 2x6 by 10's and hold them together and at about 6" to a foot from the top cut a hole through both of them so that you can put a 1 1/2 or 2" pipe through the hole

- Go ahead and use an Eye bolt (be sure to use one that will handle the weight) and put a steel plate on top to distribute the weight a little. Regards Nils Yardley, PA 59(100-6) 69XKE 72/73MGB 52MGTD
