The motorcycle lift works well, I had picked up one on sale years ago, never trusted it to pick up the bike but is does a great job for Porsche engine removal. The broad surface area ensures the engine and transmission are stable, a floor jack under the transmission allows you to position the transmission as needed. Did the drop and reinstall (first time) single handed.
It does-not have enough lift to bring the engine up to the mounts in a single lift. What I did was lifted the engine to max height, started the trans mount bolts to stabilize the unit, braced under the engine, then dropped the lift and added some spacers under the lifting board.
