I cannot find an engine crane out here, so disassembled a packing crate and made a gantry. I have managed to source a chain hoist from an amigo which attaches to the gantry:
The chain hoist has a safe working load of 500kg, so I don't believe that it will be the weakest link in this setup...! I have attached the engine to the hoist using a length of rope quadrupled up and secured it with a clove hitch to prevent the engine from tipping unexpectedly.
Job 1: remove old oil.
Looks bad!
Job 2: fit Raceline sump.
The Raceline instructions are straightforward. Raceline recommends adding a bead of silicone sealant to the stepped areas of the sump, but I added a bead all the way around the outside of the sump gasket prior to fitting. My bicycle torque wrench came in handy for torquing the small bolts :)
