Ken Harwood speaks wisely when he cautions builders utilizing an engine
crane to be aware of the dangers of the hydraulic jacks bleeding down
over time.  If anyone is interested,  the FINEST QUALITY (I.M.H.O.)
engine hoist available is from a company called "Bluebird" of Colorado.
These hoists are expensive and well worth it.The cheap  imports found in
the mail order catalogs are cutrate and inferior.  The jacks used in the
imports STINK. Bluebird jacks are great and the factory support is
outstanding if ever needed. Yes they are expensive, but they last
virtually forever and last I heard, bent crankshafts in any Ly/Con were
considered less than optimal... Build Safe/ Jeffrey B. Chipetine
