Does anyone know of a standard engine stand [that can be rented?] that will hold the type 4 engine? I know Jake removes the flywheel in his video but doesn't explain how it is all set up. My only other option is to work on the floor and the bench.
I removed the engine yesterday and seperated the tranny last night. I am going to remove the FI, etc. tonight and start the tin removal. Thanks to Pelican for the great engine removal article in the Tech section...it really works Peter 74 2 Liter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE(seanery @ Jun 21 2004, 05:58 PM) I've got that same stand mounted on an extremely strong/stiff bench. On the bottom of the base I ran 24" of 3/16" angle iron on either side. Do you Dave & Mark think I'll still need the prop stick? I guess I mean, is the stand itself gonna fail? with a short block, i didn't worry so much. but with a dressed fully built motor, it looks dicey. no matter how well the mounting plate is attached, the whole damn thing just flexes. It probably is fine but I always put the 2x4 there. When the car was fully in the garage, the motor actually cantillevered out over the bumper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) dr |
