Removed turbos.

nice work, yeah might as well clean the engine good while you have all that access, so I take that if you leave your engine on that lift being supported by the side rails for a long time (say a couple weeks or more) that it won't damage the fenders or cause any structural damage? Btw may i ask what the chain coming off the lift is attached to? (where is it being held up from) cause normally I've seen them hooked up in at least two points. thanks

There is a mounting hole by the oil filter that I just screwed in the two hook. The chain is to attach the lift to the engine. The lift has two hooks for the chain. I actually didn't use the chain. I hooked it straight to the tow hook.

Yea, that Max Tool version looks beefier. And cheaper, free shipping, and no sales tax is certainly more appealing!

Yeah, the chain was me being ocd about the support. I actually hooked the tow hook also, and then wrap everything with the chain. Nice find on the Troy support and that will work fine.

No special tools at all. As long as u have torx and reverse torx. Allen wrench also. But nothing really special.
