Default Re: Engine Stand Adapter

You will need the holes to keep the engine from rotating. The engine will want to rotate.

The threaded bolt holes for the water inlet are strong enough to support the weight of the engine. You can just use the adapters that came with the engine stand and use the right length bolts. If you have problems with the adapters moving you can tack weld them to the stand. In my case I used a lot of weld because I have no plans to use the stand with any other engine.
