MOUNTING THE ENGINE TO THE STAND
1. The mounting plate has four
adjustable arms with long bolt
holes. This is where the engine will
mount to the engine stand, using
suitable bolts which are
compatible with the threaded
holes in the engine block.
2. If the bellhousing bolts are too
short, obtain bolts that have the
same diameter and thread pitch.
Ideally, the bolts must be long
enough to go through the engine
stand arms and go at least one
inch into the engine block.
3. Lift the engine with your engine
hoist and move it towards the
engine stand.
4. Remove the locating pin, then
remove the mounting plate assembly from the engine stand.
5. Using compatible bolts, pass them through the mounting arms and bolt
them to the engine where the transmission was mounted to the block.
Mount two arms low down on the engine and bolt the other two as high as
possible.
6. Adjust the arms on the engine stand mounts so that the centre of the
mounting plate is aligned with the centre of the engine crankshaft. By
doing this you can ensure that the engine is balanced on the stand.
Tighten the bolts securely.
7. Lower the engine until the spindle is at the same level as the engine stand.
Slide the spindle of the mount into the engine stand. Replace the locating
pin to secure the mounting.
8. Slowly lower the engine hoist so that the engine stand starts to support the
weight of the engine. Double-check all fasteners and be sure that the
engine is secure.
9. Once you are confident that the stand is supporting the weight of the
engine, disconnect the hoist. Now that the engine is mounted to the stand
it can be rotated around to access all sides of the engine. Use the locking
pin to lock the engine at one of four different working angles.
