What cautions and suggestions are out there for the safest way to lift my 65 up and get it onto the airframe. I have a good automotive roll around hoist, so that isn't an issue. My real concern is the best way to get a chain or strap onto or around the engine to do the lift with the least risk.

Also, I have the fiber washers that go between the engine mount and the boot cowl. I'm not of aware of any engine offset with the J3, at least any offset relative to shimming the mount at the boot cowl. Am I wrong??
