this is where one chain hoist goes correct? with any length 10 mm bolt?



where should i mount the chain for the tranny side? the circle part is where I think it should go but not to sure.

 

I always use tie downs just cause I can make quick adjustments and usualy wrap the tie down around that mount...but if you have a chain ya use that hole but might have to get a longer bolt to fit the chain through.

 

that first ones probably a 12mm and the other will work. the one and only time i used a cherry picker i used tie downs too. but now i always drop it through the bottom.

 

hmmm tie downs seem like a good idea...

 

i just chain it down to the mounts. works for me and makes it pretty easy

 

looking at the first pic thats the hole i always use and the one on the other side of it, then for the trans side i use one of the bolts on the trans housing that bolt to the motor.

I just use the top side starter bolt and then on the motor I attach the chain to the hole where the P.S. bracket normally bolts to, that way the motor is supported by 14mm bolts the whole time so there is no worry

 

Who uses a cherry picker on a honda? get some very large jackstands and drop it out the bottom

 

I use the stock Honda Trans bracket . Its in this pic, a little to the left of the red circle near the front.

I used to think the same until I actually had to do the swap in my driveway and not in a shop w/ a lift. The cherry picker gave me alot more control when lowering and raising the motor. Just using a jack and big jack stands was a little more skidish when taking the original motor out and I knew it would be harder to get the motor back in w/o flexing the front end alot and likely would scratch the bay up a good bit which I was not about to do.

I am all about using a lift and dropping the motor from the bottom but w/o a lift? the cherry picker is sooooooo damn handy.

Bottom line is to use at least a 12mm bolt or bigger when hoisting the motor and just try to attach the chain so the motor will balance out when hanging freely. just use some common sense and you'll be fine

That's what we did for my first swap.

Bolted a wench to the ceiling and stood a board from the floor to the rafters so the shitty garage wouldn't topple.
