Question – is that engine lift bolt on the front of the engine block strong enough to support lifting the engine a few inches?[/quote]Without knowing the specifics of your application, I can only answer in general. A grade 8 bolt would have no trouble supporting the weight of an engine. A 3/8 diameter grade 8 bolt has a working load limit of around 1,000 lbs. Something like a 5/8 or 3/4 could lift you entire Jeep off the ground.

I personally think that running water through your engine is pretty much a waste of time. But I’m not looking for a debate, so we’ll let that one lie. What I will say is that spraying water into a fuel-injected engine equipped with a hot wire MAF sensor, can leave you crying if the MAF gets wet in the process. Something to keep in mind.

A near foolproof method is called “cheap tools”. The factory markings are usually enough to keep sticky hands away. You’ll tend to find a Harbor Freight ratchet won’t sprout legs nearly as fast as a Snap-on. 😉
