it's not a fault. if you use too small a loop to lift with, it pulls the lifting eye sideways so of course it snaps off. use a nice long loop so the rope coming off the eye is as near vertical as possible and have the rope so it always goes eye-lifting hook-eye, not eye-eye... if you get what I mean.

besides, I don't use the lifting eyes, I just put the rope round the manifolds, it puts the engine at a more convenient angle for fitting in/out of the bay.

I've never seen/have it happen before.

The rope was going eye-hook-eye i.e not a triangular shape if thats what you mean. It was quite tight. I've always found you need to do that to stop there being any clearance issues over the slam panel

what do you use then, the power of levitation?

if you say 'a chain', that's great but it's totally irrelevant to the eye snapping off...

Did you ever find out why the car struggled with any load on it? I remember Chris getting the car running but it had to have the tits revved off it to stop it stalling... and that was just rolling it a few feet into the showroom from outside the workshop!

Was it a sensor away somewhere? I remember a different MAP sensor being tested on it but it didn't improve it.

Wrong ECU was the main cause of it!

The TPS was also slightly out of line so needed knocking back a bit. I'll give more details in an update
