I've lifted plenty of inline engines with my crane, but never a Type IV, or any other flat engine. I need to do this to load it into a truck for shipping. I was thinking of making a sling out of webbing, or something similar. Anyone have any comments?

It's not that heavy, so even a pretty thin web like those cheap tie-down ratchets is enough, just double it to be safe. I go a loop around the bottom front of the oil pump, another around the bottom rear of the the engine behind the clutch flange, and balance those two loops on top in the middle. Simple, easy. I love web, it's quick, flexible, strong, and you can throw it in the trunk and it won't rattle.
