Part
#100-08 is the original rear 2000 engine hook;
designed to attach to the two rearmost manifold studs.
The 100-07 was a later Nissan replacement for the
#100-08. The #100-06 is an original front hook that
attached to one of the 8mm studs that the front
cylinder head inspection plate attaches to. The 100-09
is another Nissan bracket we use sometimes.
You
can also check the ENGINE EXTERNAL page in the USED
PARTS listings as well to save a buck; and some hooks
are only available used.
When
attaching any hook to a stud; remove any other washers
so hook is placed as close as possible to the head or
block. I would also suggest that even when using an
adjusting bar on an engine lifting device remove the
cam (valve) cover. It's amazing how things can slip
and break a cover. I would also suggest removing the
front grill.
The
100-06, 100-07 and 100-08 are not currently available
new and hard to keep in stock used.
The
100-09 could be used on the front where the 100-06
would attach on the front of the head, lower 8mm
stud.
We've
used these on the rear but not always. The hole in the
original manifold was very large and you could lift
the engine with a single bolt hook like this and snap
the manifold stud. I've even pulled engines and had
BOTH of the rear manifold studs snap.
Not
good.
I
don't know the correct metallurgical terms; but the
studs seem to "crystallize" with age and get weak.
Having the holes in the manifold so big it allows the
stud to try to "bend" without doing any lifting. You
are also a great deal away from the head so the
leverage is great. Normally we use these on a car with
headers where the header mount holes are pretty close
to the stud size.
I'm
usually inclined to put a lift strap around the rear
header/manifold tube. On the front I usually put a
flexible lift strap on the hook instead of a
chain.
