Engine Lifting Bracket bolts to the cylinder head and provides a rated attachment point for hoisting the engine.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Engine Lifting Bracket and what does it do?
The Engine Lifting Bracket bolts to the cylinder head and gives a hoist a rated attachment point for lifting the engine. On the Land Rover Defender and Series 2 and 3 it lets a hook or chain anchor over the head so the engine can be raised level during removal, refitting or overhaul.
Which engines does this lifting bracket fit?
This bracket fits the four-cylinder engines: 2.25L petrol, 2.5L petrol, 2.5L naturally aspirated diesel and 2.5L turbo diesel. It does not fit the 200 or 300 TDi. On the Defender and Series 2 and 3 it bolts to the cylinder head.
How many brackets are used to lift the engine?
Engines are typically lifted using a pair of brackets so the engine hangs level on the hoist, so check what your lifting setup needs. It's a workshop item rather than a running engine component, so it's usually reused across jobs rather than replaced through wear.
