There is a hoist hook that can be added to the flywheel. Do a Google search and you should find one.

Take a look at the top of the crankshaft. See the threads in there? Get a Merc lifting eye (a big honkin heat treated high tensile steel eye bolt) and screw it into the crankshaft. Connect the hook on the chain fall hoist to the lifting eye. Then lift away.

I thought we answered this already?
