Narrative:
While shipping engine; the engine shifted and fell causing engine damage. Engine preparation for shipment is too general and vague in that it is not engine specific. There are not any pictures provided to specify which cradle mounts and locking pins need to be checked; installed and safetied. Also step 3 final installation check for security; safety and general condition is not thoroughly explained by not providing enough information as to all requiring to be checked. I suggest that form provide specific engine and cradle pictures labeled as to the positioning of all required hardware. Also specify in separate steps the check required for each of the categories referring to the check for security; safety and general condition. Further explanation is needed to fully understand step c and e.
