Hi Team,
scan below may help. This is what we used at the Dealer for all D315/D318 engine applications--plus anything else it may fit safely.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Hi,
we used to remove the nuts and the sealing aluminium washers and fit the bracket on the studs without removing the covers. The studs were long enough to do this in my experience, we usually used flat washers over the slotted holes in the bracket for safety.

Hi Dan,
by two different spec. sheets here I see around 3100lbs dry weight for a basic engine, do not know what if any attachments may be on it to be more accurate for you.
Someone else may have more definite figures.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

I like the channel style beam, will have to make one. Here is a bit of rigging I made to lift a D8800. Used trailer D rings and some heavy angle.

My Uncle Hurley had a lifting bar like in your scan. Where you have the lifting chain holes he attached 2 large turnbuckles connecting the other end to the common hoist point. By twisting to adjust one or the other turnbuckles he could adjust the levelness of the engine for mating up.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
