engine removal, capping fluid lines?

[ker]

probably a basic question, but when removing all the fluid lines in prep to removing the engine, what do I plug them with? I have clamps for the fuel line but what about the hydraulic lines and such?

Be easier if we knew what engine you have

i use golf tees for rubber fuel lines that way it doesnt damage the line like a bolt would.

for hydraulic lines i usually jsut tape them off with a plastic cap of some sort then jsut wrap a rag around them

plug the fuel, unscrew the power steering hoses and strap to engine, cylinder will not make a mess unless to turn the steering wheel
