Engine hoist points with head removed?

[jbudi101]

Hi all,

Doing a head gasket on an 89 7MGTE so I pulled the head. Decided to go ahead and pull the motor and do a total overhaul. Question I have is what would be some good hoist points on the block since the head with the hoist hooks are already out of the car. Thanks!

head bolts. or find some bolts on the side of the block

I'd use bolts on the side of the block personally (or use straps)

x2, the Deck on a 7M isn't all that solid...

Great, thanks for the input. I was a bit weary about using head bolts.

I've used head bolts with no problems. Ymmv.
