That round hoist ring that you may still have attached to the front of the
engine? I don't trust them anymore, since one literally broke off while I
was looking at it. Mind you, the engine was not up in the air or even under
stress - it was sitting, just idling when the ring went "clink" and fell on
the crossmember..

Now I use both headstuds with heavy duty washers to pull the engine.
