pulling the engine

[pconway]

Im ready to take the motor out and i have a couple questions. Should i offset the theings im hooking the chain too? And i started to jack it up and it felt like it was caught. I took a big nut off that held the motor mounts on and **** and all the motor to tranny bolts any ideas?

should i put both the brakets im hooking the chain to in front or offset them?

Off set the brackets and watch your distributer. You could crack the cap or even the distributer itself. Theres a metal ground band attached to the back of the block as well, remember that you have to unhook that.

You said you took out all of the motor to tranny bolts. Did you slide the tranny back away from the motor before you started trying to pull it out?
