Lifting the KT or Magnum motors I use the tabs that are bolted on with the intake manifold bolts. If I can't winch them, I lift them with again...swift back jerking motion lol
I agree, if it has lifting lugs use them, but if it don't its an alternative. If it has damaged threads or thin threads, you should fix that anyway. I posted this idea because I saw a question on how you can lift an engine. I personally lift all small engines by hand. I've been working on engines for 60 yrs and didn't break one yet. I mostly do 1928 to 1950 vintage tractors and cars. I'm not exactly a newbie.
