I made my fixture out of angle iron. Laid a cardboard pattern down over oily spark plug holes to locate them and drilled angle to match. I was worried about using the eye bolt thing in just one hole. I figured this way the stress is divided by four. I guessed at lifting hole location, but it balanced really well. Had to grind a little relief on back side of angle for a couple of head nuts. I had planned to rent an engine lift, but none available in my area so I had to rig that too.
