New fuel pump arrived today and that meant firing up the engine on the new stand. The stand works just great, got the engine fired up and discovered an oil leak, thinking it might be coming from the oil pump. Thats whats great about this engine test stand, can fix the problems long before putting the engine back into the car. I love it, SWEET. So tomorrow will hunt down wheres its leaking and fix.

Really cool stand and a nice looking motor. I didn't understand why you painted the rear tin orange until I saw it in the car. Nice touch.

Looking at your stand, one thing I would do differently...
At the transmission end, I would leave the lower frame open, and take the frame up and over the tranny and mount it from above. Then you could move the engine on and off the stand on a jack like you pull it out of the car. It would have to be wide enough to pass the whole engine through.

How did you get the motor on and off? I would use offers of beer for a couple of friends, but what currency do you use in Utah? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

cheers,

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It is looking great Jim. Nice work on the stand. Thanks for the details.

Any of you SL area guys going to the ALMS race at Miller in May? Thinking of driving the 914 out.

We made a lifting bar for the engine to get it off of the stand. It worked well only have to lift the engine about 4 inches to get it off of the stand, the common currency in Utah is scalps. Gint myself and few other friends are plannning on going to those races.

The stand if friggin unbelieveable!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

The question is, if you hook up the tranny to the stand wheels, what do you need the rest of the car for??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
