Swapping engines

[LoneWolfGal]

Getting ready to attach a chain to the new engine so it can be lifted. One end will be attached to the hoist hook point provided at the rear of the engine and the other will be bolted to a motor mount hole in front. If some kind person can tell me the size of the motor mount bolts, since I seem to have misplaced the dang service manual, I will be grateful to that individual.

I only had a few minutes to search, and this seems to be the correct diagram: https://www.eurospares.com/Porsche/Boxster_986/Boxster_986_(2000)/PartDiagrams/109-000/ENGINE_LIFTING_TACKLE


Good luck.

Good luck.

Thanks, Kevin. Says it's an M10 hex but doesn't say whether it's coarse thread or fine. Coarse would be my guess, but I could be wrong. I've been wrong a time or two, I admit it.

Coarse is a safe bet. That said, buy a couple of each - they’re cheap.
