Quick...where's the lifting hook?

So should one hook be able to sustain the weight of the engine? I am using a homebuilt jig like the one described in the FAQ to lift the engine just enough to change the engine mounts. It looks like the one in front (part of the thermostat housing) would be most convenient for this process. My concern is that the hook, and more specifically the studs and nuts holding the hook onto the block, look kinda feeble compared to the weight of the engine. Any thoughts or input?
