Engine Hoist!
any one got one?
if not has anyone hired one before? if so where, and how much?
and if they are expensive to hire, i HAVE considered buying one.
i know i need it 2-3 times in the next 6 months, im sure if i had one, others would make use of it. i have an engine stand, and a mivec engine waiting to go on it.
i just need to actually lift the thing up and get it on there.. (and buy some trannie bolts to attach it)
so. anyone ... suggesttions? experiences? had a dream about one once?
k-GO!

Re: Engine Hoist!
I got a flatpack hoist from Super Cheap auto.
Rated to 1250kg
Only cost me $150 and it works great. (It was on special)

Re: Engine Hoist!
i did not know you had one tim!
im watching one on ebay right now. im trying to get that engine i bought on the stand... i still have to pick up the timing kit and water pump.. but by the time summer is over, i should be ready.
im thinking of having a DIY day to put the timing kit and pump in the engine.. put some plugs in it... i have a long driveway too! i just want to do some stuff, and i'd like you to oversee so i dont .. you know.. put sh*t on upside down and blow up the engine,
then after thats all done, organise dome time to get the car to you for the changeover
im thinking .. if the clutch lasts.... march, probably late march .. i have 2 weeks off then. but i'll ring ya and organise it properly when its closer.
*prays to clutch goddess to keep going*
