No i lifted the engine by the lifting eye and wrap arround the gear box but i put it through the maifold just incase the others snaped.  Would rarther have a broken manifold than two broken legs  :grin:

I will be cleaning it all up, that starts today  :grin:  but i only have the hoist on rent for another day so needed to get it in asap.
