So I came across a thread the other day as I was researching ideas for aircraft jacks that has me worried...
It mentioned DO NOT lift from the metal loop on top of the engine, as apparently there have been some that tried that and basically tore the engine apart.
Unfortunately, I found this information after I did exactly that...lifted weight off the wheels using an engine hoist attached to the loop on top of the engine. Fortunately, nothing bad happened...
Or did it? Is it possible I did any damage or stressed something that I havent detected yet? Am I over thinking this, or is this a valid concern that I need to further investigate?
