That's exactly what they did — it was under one of two wide nylon ratchet straps, strapped tightly around the engine. The hose is the only casualty. All the other hoses, tubes, wiring looms, and connectors look almost new. I really have no complaint. Whoever pulled the engine took exceptional care to disconnect all hoses, etc., making sure they remained intact, rather than simply cutting them for expediency. Had they done that, I probably would have passed on this engine.
