Most engines have lift brackets on them. If not, a piece of angle iron with a hole drilled in both sides, using a head bolt in one hole, and the chain in the other is a much better idea.
BTW. A model "A" has a CAST IRON cylinder head...... |
and I thought it was a good idea, shows you what I know.
I do it the hard way, I just grab a hold of them and lift. Then my back lets me know for a couple days that I'm not all that smart.
