The spark plug method which I have been using for over 30 years works fine - I use n°3 spark plug hole which when removing engine and gearbox together allows me to tilt the unit enough to clear the flywheel/ bulkhead and lift the sump over the chains nose. I did once try a block and tackle, which once I'd got the unit out and before I'd put it on the bench, the brake failed. The engine dropped to the floor breaking the nose cone and flattening the sump. (I was not a happy bunny!)
I now use a 250kg SWL electric overhead winch. Easy.
If you're just putting the engine back, don't forget to align the blind spline so the gearbox will mate back up properly. Ask me how I now remember that.
