Thanks for the tip Kevin. I've often placed a block of wood under the oil pan (block of 2x6 or 2x8) big enuf to spread the load to lift engines witha floor jack. Every engine i've tried it on the method works just fine. Just need to make sure the block of wood is thick enuf (at least 2 inches like a 2x4 which is really 1.75" thick) and wide enuf to span broader than the width of the pan. THis is important to be broader than the width of the pan so that the rigid sides of the pan carry most of the load.
