V6 Motor lift points

[chevtruknut]

O.K. here's a wierd one. Our HS auto shop is now working on my new project (I am the teacher). We have a 92 w/V6 that the previous owner ran out of oil due to crankshaft seal failure. (the engine has a documented 15K on it, it was replaced due to almost the same reason...no lesson learned here I guess?!), anyways we have the V6 almost ready to come out and can't find the lift point that I assume is on the drivers rear. Does anyone know exactly, or have a picture of one in place? It is my guess it got in the way when reinstalling the motor and they removed it, but hard to see where it was?? Thanks in advance for your help. We will be pulling JUST the motor and hopefully rebuilding the bottom end (it ran when I got it, just a lower end noise) Any helpful hints or hidden bolts! Thanks, Brad

Yeah there is one at the d/s right about the back of the exhaust manifold (2 15mm head bolts)
Another is on the passenger side front of head
I just pulled one apart also and this is how i know

So the previous owner did not ever check the oil level at all or was the seal leak that bad?

His excuse was, "I parked over the grass so I didn't see it leaking. The wife also told me that Pro-Lube had JUST told him a few months ago to get that leaked fixed. Oh well, maybe he just wanted a new rig, it works for me I got it for free. (No such thing as a free horse) The motor pulling is a bear on that thing. Brad I ended up fabricating one from scratch...can't figure out why they would have removed it, not really in the way of anything?
