        Not sure what you did wrong but this is the method to use. The MG
workshop manual, put out by MG identifies the part I am refering to making
as an engine sling. Victoria British sells it for $7.65. It's very
difficult to tip the engine enough unless you have a leveler (which Harbor
FFreight sells for $29.00)or lift it using the top studs.
