There was a factory part to allow chains to fasten to brackets that fastened 
on the valve cover studs.  The only time I saw it used it failed in operation 
but not from a great height.  The mechanic says ....... first time I have seen 
that happen.  It was the last time I ever saw it.

I rope under the front engine pulley and rope at the back of the block - each 
being a separate loop.  I have another loop going horizontal to join the 2 
vertical loops and I hook this to the jib of the crane pulley and allows the 
engine to rotate on the loops as it comes out at that steep and dangerous 
looking 
angle.  I always remove the distributor, carb and inlet and exhaust 
manifolds.  I always pull the gearbox at the same time and I think I remove the 
starter 
motor.
