The Mopar 3.6 engine, also known as the Pentastar engine, has a unique design that requires specific engine lifting brackets to remove and replace the engine. This is because the engine block does not have any lifting points or bosses built into it, which is a common feature in many other engines.
The Pentastar engine's lack of lifting points is due to its lightweight and compact design, which is intended to improve fuel efficiency and performance. However, this also means that the engine needs to be lifted carefully and precisely to avoid damaging its components.
The specific engine lifting brackets are designed to securely attach to the engine around the exhaust manifold area and curve around the cams to distribute the weight evenly, allowing for safe and easy removal and installation.
It's important to note that attempting to lift the Pentastar engine without these specific brackets can cause damage to the engine or result in personal injury. Therefore, it's always recommended to use the proper tools and equipment when working on this engine.
