[TR] advice needed on chains for pulling engine

[bill beecher]

“A chain is only as strong as its weakest point”   
Use a chain rated at 1.5x of what your lifting, my opinion.

Lets say I have a 1000lb engine. Will I be able to lift this engine from one point on the engine and one point on the engine hoist?
Now, if I lift the same engine from 4 points, and one point on the engine hoist, can I get away with using a chain rated at 250 lb?
