So i've got my engine out but am wondering now that i've sat it down... how am i really supposed to lift it? I pretty much just wrapped the engine mounts when i got it out but i'm not sure how most people do this. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Yeah, i'm using an engine hoist, but there isn't really any mounts for a strap or anything. I'd really like to be able to pick it up without using the engine mounts as my lifting point since i have to take them off since i'm swapping in a new engine

Thanks, didn't know if those were safe to use or not. It's lifted by the bolts on the head now one of the engine mount bolts
