Cracked Cylinder Repair: Using a Chain to Pull a Motor

DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. So there's a bunch of different ways to support an engine when you pull it out. We showed one here on a different series where we used a carburetor plate, but this do not have any carburetor, this do not have any intake on it. Dan has grabbed one of the simpler chain [SOUNDS LIKE] affairs. So he'll find bolt holes that work. Usually, he'll grab bolt holes in the heads for mounting accessories, and he'll find bolts that are diagonal from one another and kinda equally placed so that you can pull the engine real stable. So we've got one good bolt going in the back of the motor. And Dan didn't drive that bolt in the rear all the way home; it's not necessary. As long as you get a good bit of threads in the head or in the block, that's good enough. Tighten it all the way down to really accomplish anything.
