Re: Engine rebuild stand

i used a four leg, 1500lb heavy duty engine stand. it wasn't so much the weight, but the length of the weight. here is a picture of the motor with most parts on it. you can see i had a wood block at the bottom right that was supporting the front from sagging a bit. the wood block was on a jack so i could jack up and relieve the sag.
it was not easy to rotate the motor, but it did rotate. bolting to the back of the motor was also a huge challange as it does not seem to be a bolt pattern my stand liked to play well with. not sure if you can tell, but the motor is off center from the rotation assembly.
