So I got a different jack, I know it was probably an easy noob like fix but building the dam thing then finding out it wasnt pumping frustrated the hell out of me. Luckily they switched it out for another jack(red one). I tested it out works as it should, removed my hood anndd sunlight was gone. So tmrw im lifting in the am really crossing my fingers something isnt still holding it to frame.

Scotty, I saw that chain at hf before purchasing I tried using a steel cable and wrapping it around 4 points on the top/middle level of engine(beneath brackets at top by valve cover and same at the other side). It lifted the engine pretty well balanced. I wonder how its gna balance with the trans attached. I should be fine as long as long as some guides it as i lift, i hope.
