dcShadow Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Hello all, Im needing to remove the engine to replace a cracked bell housing - a daunting prospect for me indeed as ive never done anything like this before - but before I have even started I have noticed that my engine block has had its hoist point brackets removed. I bought the car built from Williams Auto in 2020. I can't seem to find anything like mount points/mount loops online nor, for when I do find them, any instruction of which bolt point they should be attached to. Can anyone guide me please on if its possible to find replacements of the loop plates and bolts and then instruction of which bolt point to install them upon? Thanks David Edited June 4 by dcShadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainsley Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 You can borrow mine. After I stuck the engine in I unbolted mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerobod - near CYYC Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Hi David, This is what the standard eyes look like, but they don’t seem to be readily available: https://www.burtonpower.com/engine-lifting-eyes-ford-duratec-i4-fiesta-st150-sscelf4.html Depending on your type of hoist attachment you can pick up a number of lifting points and use washers or spacers to keep the attachment plate clear of the valve cover. I used a load leveller with 4 lifting points and built-in lifting plates attached to available head bosses. On the intake side of the head: You can remove the bolt in blind hole on the exhaust side and there is a spare boss, too (circled in red): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainsley Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I unbolted mine, they were just ugly bolt on eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) You're welcome to borrow mine. I can post, or you could collect if you're anywhere near Dorset. This shows where they fit: IME, it's only kit-supplied engines that come with the eyes. I think CC tend to remove them from factory-built cars. ETA: Probably a good time to mention the "Member Loan Directory". JV Edited June 4 by John Vine Add ref to Member Loan Directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 They weren’t fitted to my factory built car when I collected it in January 2022. MattB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
