    IMPORTANT: The following procedure is for supporting the engine in vehicle. The J 28467-15  is for supporting the engine in vehicle only. It is not intended to be used for lifting the engine once the engine is removed.

The J 28467-87  is only used to lift the engine once the engine is removed from the vehicle. The J 28467-87  can not be used for engine support in vehicle due to limited access to the rear of the right cylinder head in the area where the bracket mounts.
