Randall & Gene,
Thanks for the replies and the ideas about pulling the engine / gearbox,
etc. I'll take a look on Friday for these lifting eyes. I assume they will
be visible right there on the outside of the engine if they are there at
all. I don't remember seeing them but I'll take another look. I'll keep
you posted.
Thanks again,
Steve
