I had to make a engine stand adapter on my own. All the ones I saw wouldn't work with the engine stand I have, it is bolted to the exhaust ports and everything is grade 8 bolts.

The plan with this engine is to just rebuild it to get it running, no performance want to keep it simple and original as possible. I will be taking it to a machine shop to get it cleaned and checked for cracks.

I guess my next step is to remove the flywheel and the back gear cover plate and the idler gear for the oil pump and then try to remove oil pump again.
