[Roadsters] Update on Engine Rebuild

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Matthew,

I understand that the Nissan Shop Manual and Parts Manual are both available 
for download at 311s.org.  You need to look at the 1600 head section, which 
shows the configuration and location of the lifting brackets.

If that doesn't work for you, you may contact me off-list and I'll scan and 
E-mail you the appropriate page(s).
