[Walt Fricke]

The yoke, if you put it on first, is plenty strong to be the rear side lifting point. I still use the lifting eye, though, as it seems better centered even though I put the yoke on first, so it is ready when the motor is lifted up.

On my race motor, I have the alternator/fan strap hardware on top of the fan housing, with the bolt holding an oval steel ring. Most would fear this would overstress the fan housing, but that hasn't happened to me, and it means I can use chain there. But that was for an engine frequently removed. The nylon straps you see in the pictures are there to cushion the places where they press on other engine parts.

Unless you use one of those long leveling bars, where everything is perpendicular. Those seem to be overkill for the rather occasional home use, but would be quite useful in a business shop.
