As someone said theres a bolt hole on the top left and another spot at the rear right of the engine. Put a bolt through the chain and screw it into them. if you have air con i then put the chain around the bracket so it makes a nice supportive 3 point thingy. jhave a few shackles to play with and wa la..

Also its very handy to have a few jacks and some blocks of wood sitting around as you always find theres some shit unplanned thing that needs support or lifting etc and your buggered if you can move it by yourself from underneath so they come in very handy.

Also have some masking tape and make tags/notes on all the wires you take off so you can put em back later.

And enjoy!

Thanks for the tips guys... keep them coming.

Gday,

Wear overalls & Purchase a manual. Well worth the $ just for the torque specs later on... don't be afraid to get the pages greasy mate.

Agreed! Prybars help (shovel / pick axe / mattock / pinchbars etc; with old towel / rubber etc wrapped around are held in the highest regard in my shed

And enjoy!

The best tip of them all!!!!!

It was a suprize shot that my girlfriend at the time took my photo, it was quite ezy and the hardest part is lining the clutch back to the gearbox shaft once that is done the engine just slips back in.I did this all on my own in one day and had the new engine running
