REFLECTOR: What engine hoist?

[Milton Mersky]

Reiff:

The smaller 1 ton hoist is fine. Your engine does not exceed 500 lbs.

Make sure the nose wheel is secured to the ground before you start hanging the engine.

You may have to re adjust the entrance doors after the engine is in place.

  Reflector, 

   

  I've never installed an engine before, either in a car or plane. Are there any special requirements for the engine hoist I'm going to need to put an IO-550 on my XL? Can I just get a (relatively) inexpensive automotive hoist like this . . . ?
