When I did mine I took off the valve cover and used 2 of the cylinder head
studs one front and one back on a diagonal. I built a lifting sling of 5/16"
chain with 2 angled brackets welded to the ends, drilled to fit over the studs
and used the nuts to secure. Had to test several links as the apex for the
correct attitude for lifting.
