Just got to the point I’m ready to lift the engine for some winter remedial, I purchased some Ford pinto lifting eyes but not sure where they go for easiest lift they don’t seem to fit in many places so is this something like right ?

Hi Jim,

On my 2B I used to put the exhaust side one where yours is but the inlet side further back - that way the engine is reasonably balanced.   However, if you're bringing the gearbox out with it, it'll still be tail heavy.  Assuming you're leaving the gearbox in, one at the back and one at the front should give you a reasonable lift.

Hi Jim,

I used lifting slings and removed the engine and gearbox together.

I had a large tray underneath to catch the gearbox oil otherwise it gets very messy!

It’s been a fun day with my youngest engine out with box still in situ sat on a trolley Jack and a block of wood. Might come unstuck when it goes back in but that a while down the road yet ! IMG_6899.thumb.jpeg.b822042e95de4988648fa954ef02dfbb.jpegIMG_6900.thumb.jpeg.76614763aa38be219a297a408d0b99bd.jpegIMG_6898.thumb.jpeg.ef36d41a23ccb90e311fa0cb270cde25.jpeg

Paint engine, sort crank shaft seal leak, wrap manifold, clean all of engine bay, paint clean and tidy anything that does not look 100% 

i am aiming for a top draw engine bay !

That should keep you busy over the winter - you do realise that you've now set a target for yourself that we'll be checking on next year !

Only joking, but I will be looking forward to seeing it when the sun re-appears 🤪

Looking good, I'll give it 8 out of 10 so far - you've got to get it all back together and working (without scratching the paint) to get the other 2 marks !
