Exactly how I did it, except I used a single length crossed over at the
hook. I lowered the engine onto a saw-horse to stop it swinging around
while I was working on the clutch but kept the bulk of the weight on the
rope, so the engine was correctly aligned for when it went back in. I don't
see how a chain would be any better at changing the angle of the engine,
without a tilter, unless you were hanging it off a single stud!
