Attachment to block to pull engine?

I need to ask a real neophite question: Exactly how should I attach to it to lift the engine? AM getting closer to where I can start removal of my engine and transmission to find what cut my pan from inside. In the Ford Bible that just arrived they show lifing the engine with an ice-tong type of gri...

Re: Found cut in pan, from inside out... Pull hogshead AND pan?

Much to read. Again thank you. Some history and clarification, my 94 yr old wheel chair uncle owned this for 77 years, equipped it with hand controls (!) and gave it to me about 6 years ago. A previous mechanic shop couldn't get it running, returned the car to him, he was too old and frail to examin...

TXGOAT2 asked about anything in the old oil... and the bad thing is I drained it, disposed of it a day later when I put in new oil, and THEN discovered my leak.

Found cut in pan, from inside out... Pull hogshead AND pan?

I am new at this. I will get names of stuff wrong. Please be patient and try to interpret. I was planning to change all fluids, greases, etc. in my 1923 touring car. First thing was oil change, and I immediately saw the new oil spilling out. Found a 1" long vertical cut in the outmost edge of the pa...
