So, I am getting ready to pull my engine for the second time.(first time right after I bought it, replaced the 1qt. of oil per 30mi. engine for a used) Now I am replacing the clutch. The problem is, I don't remember what I used for a rear lift point and can't really find one now. The closest thing I can find is a threaded boss on the back drivers side of the head. At this point I am planning on just hooking to that but if someone can tell me what I am supposed to do since cheap firestarter haynes manual is useless, I would appreciate it. By the way, I am planning on doing this tonight. It is ready to go, just need to pull the fuel lines and it is outa there.

Here's a link that shows what it looks like and it goes where you think it does, in that boss.

Hope that helps. You could also use a length of chain with big enough links to pass a bolt through, just be sure the bolt you use is long enough to reach the bottom of the threads. However you want to be really carefull doing things that way cause the chain can damage things moving around as you shift the engines posistion on the way out.

thanks guys. Now I wonder where that bracket went.

Are you pulling the engine just to do a clutch? Why not drop the trans/tcase?
