We have those days, right? 🤪 Just a note, be wary of leaving an engine hanging on a lift for too long, ask me how I know.... I imagine yours isn't too heavy, but I had an issue with a Jaguar 5.3 V12 engine that I left hanging overnight and it's blown the seals out of the hydraulic ram (still haven't got around to fixing it actually). If you're not done with it, put the pallet on top of the engine hoist legs and lower it to remove the strain, then lift it up again when you need to.

Ouch! Good tip. I guess it might quite a mess with all the leaked oil. Hope your engine didn't took any damage.

I think I missed it, I'm sorry - what's up with the two engines?
