[Mgs] watch your chains

[Paul Hunt]

Exactly how I did it, except I used a single length crossed over at the 
hook.  I lowered the engine onto a saw-horse to stop it swinging around 
while I was working on the clutch but kept the bulk of the weight on the 
rope, so the engine was correctly aligned for when it went back in.  I don't 
see how a chain would be any better at changing the angle of the engine, 
without a tilter, unless you were hanging it off a single stud!
