Lift Points

[Hillbilly XJ]

Jeep engines know little about but have worked with race car engines (my own) since 1965 and even as an 18 yr. old kid I knew better than using a Harmonic Balancer as a jacking point.

Much less a Fluiddamper, TCI Rattler or any of the other race balancers. I can't believe anybody would put that in print and even more anyone that read it would be stupid enough to do so. Well wait I misspoke myself anyone that knew anything about engines and how they work would. If they gave $3500 or so for a rotating assembly they sure as hell wouldn't get that jack even a foot away from it
In this day and time I guess nothing should surprise me, a lot of water has passed under the bridge in the last 66 yrs.

Not that I let anyone but the tire guys work on my XJ, but if I saw someone putting a jack on my ATI damper.. well, they would learn very quickly never to do that again.

My apologies to iluv83vettes. It does say that but it is most definitely a really bad thing to do.

Thank you. I'm glad to know now that the FSM is incorrect in some instances.

No problem. :wave: Yea just when you thought you could really trust the FSM.

I'm just glad that every RMS I have done was on a Jeep that was already lifted so I had clearance to get the pan out and never did that.
