Pulling 7M out without the head on?

[Mr.PFloyd]

well i read here from some people pull the engine without the head off (bishop mentioned it once at least) and i was wondering where would the chains go since i need to do it this way. (i need to take off my head to send to my machinist because i figured i might as well machine the one i have) so yeah, how is it done? let me know guys.

how about threading a head bolt down thru the chain and into the block on each end.

Pretty much just look for bolt holes close to where the head lifting points would be. One side is pretty good but the other is closer to the center of the block. I've only lifted a headless block from the floor to the engine stand and I imagine lifting the block + trans might be a little more challenging.

Why not just pull the whole thing before you send the head out?

Throw some sturdy washers in the mix and that would probably work.

i don't think i will be able to because i need to send out my head soon.

Do you have any old stock head bolts,put some washers on them put the bolt through the chain and screw the old head bolt in to the block.
Cover the block with a towel to keep dirt out.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

i got 14 stock headbolts, and then i will have 14 more so yeah
if anything im just gonna take it all out on the 7th.

Well pick another one because you need 2 of them LOL.

1 more for headbolts into the block. Just don't try to reuse those headbolts later.

Actually, that's exactly how me and a buddy did it...head bolts w/ a couple thick washers on each side of the chain link. Worked well

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

cool thanks guys. im not reusing the headbolts, don't worry ... ARP studs are sitting next to me

 

[Zumtizzle]

HAHA, Me and My Dad did this with-out washers....chain was strong and perfect fit....

working on it eric . Hell you should come down on the 6th, i can provide you with food + shelter, and all you'd have to do is a little engine work for a couple of fun hours. Comon, i know you want to :naughty:
