Mark's Mgbgt Adventure

Yesterday I pulled the engine out of the GT. I rented an engine hoist for pulling the engine since at the last Club meeting I couldn't find a member with a hoist.

I got the engine tilted so the transmission would come out and was raising the engine to clear the car when the engine stopped moving; the engine hoist had gone has high as it was going to and I still needed another foot before the engine would clear the grill. I was not expecting an engine hoist with inadequate lift height.

Fortunately, the Club was having an upholstry tech session so I hurried over hoping that there would be a different or bigger crowd that at the last meeting and some body would have or know someone with an engine hoist. And yes, someone did have a hoist that would work.

So the engine is now out, and the engine bay and engine power-washed clean. Monday I'll return the inadequate engine hoist.
