HeswallTR3 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hi, I am about to give my Engine the treatment and have, bought an engine stand to make the job easier, unfortunately theres no instructions as to how to fit the 4 pins to the engine, any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Tr4Tony Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Keith I made some spacers up from bits of thick walled pipe, got some long UNC threaded bolts and attached the engine back plate to the stand via holes that hold the gearbox on, one at 10 and 2 o clock, one by the starter apperture and one on the base. worked well. It looks a bit wobbly, but in use its very safe. Regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel Lay Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Hi Keith Not very clear but these are the only two photos of the engine from TS952 on a sealy stand, as per Tony, home made spacers etc. (if they load as haven't tried it with linux, photo's all in a different file!) - it worked Nigel Edited August 17, 2007 by Nigel Lay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel Lay Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Keith - one other thing, if you look at one of the photo's I did wedge a lump of 3x2" under the timing case cover to stop the front end 'drooping' until I took the head and other bits and pieces off.
