replacing rod bearings in car

I mis-spoke. Remove the motor mount NUTS.

There are 2 tapped holes on the top of the head. The fwd one is for lifting the engine alone, the aft one for engine w/ tranny. Those are the ideal balance points. Most people today, use an adjustable lift or a 2nd chain to manage the angle. Anyway, for just lifting up a bit, use the front one (or both).

As I recall, I used my fold-up cherry picker to lift, propped the engine up on blocks between mounts and K-frame, moved the picker out for room underneath. Then reversed. Without a picker, it is as easy to just jack it up from the oil pan. Use newspapers so you don't mar your newly painted oil pan when going the other way.
