<VV> engine (only) removal for LMs?

[J R Read_HML]

Ray,  Others will disagree...  but I just use a regular floor jack with a 
large (4 inch?) cup and a piece of 2X6.  Being VERY careful, I can do engine 
only without a helper to balance the engine - but it makes me feel better 
when there is an extra pair of hands.

Be careful not to hang the weight of the engine on the input shaft since 
that runs the risk of bending it.
