Yes, I will definitely get back. I read some independent reviews of each one, and people seemed to be happy with the 1 ton, so hopefully it'll work out for me. That said, if I had a big block or was planning on doing this more than once, I'd have opted for the 2 ton without question.

Pulling the motor tomorrow. Was planning on changing oil pan and and freezeout plugs while motor on the hoist. Now thinking maybe i should do it on an engine stand. Might be easier with motor upside dowm. Question is, if I do it on an engine stand and turn motor upside down do I have to worry about the lifters bleeding out while doing pan and freezeout plugs or anything else. Thanks.

The harbor freight 2 ton hoist worked fine but i wish the arm was a little longer. Also bought the 2 ton engine stand and it was a pain in the ass to spin the motor(BBC). I bent the handle and had to use the hoist to raise and spin the motor.
