MG MGA - Lifting w/ aluminum head

Hey all, I have replaced the head on the 1600 with an aluminum unit. Should I be concerned about using lifting brackets attached to the valve cover studs? The brackets are from Moss. Thanks, Tom

Modern day aluminum heads are made from a very tough alloy. I don't think you'll have any problems.

I have a Laystall aluminum head on my TD. I would not DARE to ask the threads in that head, to lift the load of the engine. I think it is a very risky thing to do, considering a possible failure.
