What's the verdict on using a motorcycle lift for engine removal/install?
Thinking the Harbour Fright econo-version. I know there has been some discussion pro/con on this but I never caught the bottom line. Info please. Allen |

one vote for "yes".
i use two jacks. one regular and one motorcycle. the MC jack does not get as high as a regular jack but i lay a square piece of plywood across it and that makes for a nice platform. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) One block of wood on the motorclycle across legs. You need about 3 inches more height. A floorjack under the body of the car right below where the tunnel exits into engine compartment....you can lift the car easily from here. |
