Waldi Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I have the same stand, but mounted it on the rhs engine support (the 4 3/8”? Bolts) in this way you can work on the crackshaft too. It was a bit off the centre of gravity of the engine, so you need to be carefull when turning, but it worked ok for me. I bolted the engine straight on the black plate, did not use the slotted adapter brackets, so had to drill 2 holes for this in the black plate. Waldi Edit: apologies, mine was a 6 cyl, not sure how this works out for a 4 cyl. Edited February 23, 2019 by Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi Lee, the four pot engine is not so frightening when mounted. I always feel the vertical strut is going to snap - but never does. Use the four adjustable arms to get the block centred as best as possible to make rotation less frightful. As mentioned - crank work is not so easy but not too much of a problem to set the block down on a workmate etc and remove the stand. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
