[Healeys] Engine Lifting

I've always lifted the entire assembly this way. Just make sure everything is
screwed tightly down onto the rocker pedistals with large close fitting flat
washers between the lifting brackets and the pedistals.

  I'm looking for advice here. In the past I have removed and installed engine
and gearbox separately. This time I'm thinking of replacing both together.
I've seen posts on this and it makes sense but I'm a little concerned about
using the valve cover studs to lift both engine and gearbox. I have the BMC L
brackets and I've used these in the past to lift just the engine - I've always
been a little concerned about trusting those studs with the weight of the
engine. Is that how people lift the combined weight of engine and gearbox?


  Thanks
