Default Valley plate

Has anyone seen a plate that you can bolts to where the Valley Cover goes and use it to pull/lift the engine?

I was just wondering.. I'm about to put my engine back in soon and it would help..

I pulled my engine using two of the factory valley cover bolts, each in opposite corners, no problem (you must pull the cover to get enough thread engagement). If you had longer bolts, no need to pull the cover at all.

Thanks for the link. I was talking to a friend of mine and he said the same thing.

I actually made one earlier today out of some steel I had laying around. I just need some Grade 8 Bolts and I'm good.


The holes aren't drilled yet, but you get the idea..
