Install rebuilt 6cyl motor 48 f1
What is the proper way to hook up chains on a rebuilt ford flathead 6? I don't want to use the head bolts might damage gasket and compromise block holes,anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

The Ford manual says to use a lift plate attached with the head bolts. Not sure why you think this would damage the gasket or block holes. Most modern v8s are pulled using the intake manifold carburetor bolts. An engine is not near heavy enough to damage cylinder head bolts or bolt holes.

Did a bunch of them in the old days. Always used the head bolts with no problems.

Watched a guy pulling an engine with a sling that looked to be made of seat belt material. He just wrapped it around, didn't bend or break anything.
