Peppy - Thanks for creating this thread - I'm using it as one of my main points of reference for when I go down a similar path this winter. Question - why didn't you use the wooden cradle that you used for the drop when you did the install? It looks like a rolled-up rag was used between the jack pad and the bottom of the engine in this pic. Did you do anything to keep the engine from wobbling side-to-side as you moved it around?

That's my first anxiety point - avoiding damage to the engine with the floor jack, or performing a "drop" off the jack! I've read all the "drop" threads, but I like your minimalist approach.

Best of luck and great work, looking forward to reading about a successful launch!
