If your hoist uses 1/2" holes like most, use the M11 head bolts. It's fine. We lift the blower engine with the 3/8" exhaust studs. You're lifting at an angle anyways, so the size difference doesn't matter as much.

pull the two 6" bolts going to the frame saddles. The mounts themselves should be able to stay on the block.
