I'm looking for advice here. In the past I have removed and installed engin=
e and gearbox separately. This time I'm thinking of replacing both together=
. I've seen posts on this and it makes sense but I'm a little concerned abo=
ut using the valve cover studs to lift both engine and gearbox. I have the =
BMC L brackets and I've used these in the past to lift just the engine - I'=
ve always been a little concerned about trusting those studs with the weigh=
t of the engine. Is that how people lift the combined weight of engine and =
gearbox?
Thanks
