[Mgs] pulling engine

[Bob Howard]

   Some lift off the studs to which the rocker cover is secured. That is
the way MG installed engines; the lifting tab is still in place on many
engines.        
  Others cringe at the thought of hanging 350 lbs off two little bits of
steel that have been twisted/bent/overtightened during an unknown number
of liftings.
   Manifold and water pump studs are much larger than the rocker cover
studs, and it's easy to substitute long bolts with a connecting tab in
place of a head stud.  Another way is to use a sling of strap/webbing or
a rope.
