One of my next projects is to mount this on my test stand (that has standard front and rear mounts) to get it running, and hopefully, any maintenance that it may need can be done on the test stand.

About the "gold thingies"; I get 'em wholesale; that's almost a necessity with these distributors.

Sorry if I caused any confusion about 'cams'. I understand the theory, but was merely trying to shorten the "quoted" reference.


Getting back to the cast bells....just HOW do guys safely mount these on a true engine stand? As many of these that I had seen in the past, I had never really thought about mounting one before your picture above just 'smacked' me up the side of the head. DD
