You know of any good ideas for a makeshift engine rack/holder thingy to hold my engine up as I work on it? I have a bad cylinder heat gasket in my car and the engine, despite my best efforts, the engine has to come out to change it.
I've solved the no hoist thingy, hypothetically anyways, with a few tow straps. But securing it down for such high torques still has me stumped.

Consider ratchet straps.

Clearly you are a shadow of your self right now if a wee bit is the best you can do.

Need more fluency and vocabulary to really annoy here.

Just use the classic American tourist routine of speaking very loudly and angrily that the natives just don't speak English like they should.

Teen 'begs for his life' after insulting Mexico's 'most dangerous cartel boss' on TikTok - Daily Star

A young lad who insulted Mexico's most deadly drug cartel boss in a TikTok video was been forced to issue an apology.

The account that made the offensive post towards 'El Mencho', currently the most wanted man in Mexico, has since been made private.

I hadn't heard of 'El Mencho' before.

The lad - who appears to be in his teens - levelled several insults against Nemesio 'El Mencho' Cervantes, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

Although they are considered by most to be the second most powerful cartel in Mexico (outgunned by the Sinaloa Cartel) the CJNG is considered the most dangerous.

Their propensity towards extreme violence means that El Mencho is wanted by the authorities. He also may have form in coming after teens who insult him online.

In the first TikTik clip the lad appears resting on a lamp post as he addresses the drug kingpin, speaking in Spanish.

According to a translation posted on Reddit page r/NarcoFootage he says: "Listen well you son of a b*tch. El Mencho can suck my d***."

He then says, "I don't sleep like 'El Pirata' or 'El Chanito de Culiacan'", referencing the online personas of Juan Luis Lagunas Rosales, a 17-year-old Mexican YouTuber who was shot dead in 2017 after insulting El Mencho in a similar clip.

He continues: "I'm immortal, untouchable, I made a pact with the devil. I came to give you fire, Mencho. I'm not scared to say this, I'll say this without the camera right here, Mencho can suck my d***."

In the second clip he says: "I'm sorry for what I said, I was not well, I was not conscious of what I was saying.

"It was wrong, that day I woke up stupid. I didn't look at the consequences, I did that for followers, I ask for forgiveness.

"You and your family are well liked. Mencho don't kill me, I have a family just like you. I apologise, we all make mistakes.

"I have psychological problems sir, just remember we like you."

He also used the term "cabron", which means "dumbass" in Spanish, in the second clip in reference to El Mencho, suggesting he might not have learned his lesson.

Here is a group photo of the CJNG Cartel. But on Sundays they sing in the church choir.

El Mencho is currently the most wanted man in Mexico. There's a $10 million reward for his capture.

They need a reward for you not being able to work so instead posting on RF (and getting paid to do so).

Consider ratchet straps.

That's my idea to get the engine out. But holding it down to get bolts off and torqued back on I'm not sure.
