Engine Stand Adapter
Hello all and happy new year. Over the holidays, I picked up a spare engine. I tried to order an engine stand adapter but it looks like it is out of stock everywhere I looked. Does anyone know of any sources that might have these available ? Thanks in advance.

Funny that you should ask. We needed several in-house for our own use so we drew them up in CAD and made our own on our CNC plasma. We might look at making a few more in the next week or so if several others were interested in having one made. |

Hello Dennis - I had already reached out to them and they aren’t really in stock, web site glitch. They said they’d have some by early summer though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Engine Stand Adapter
An alternative technique is to mount an engine to a stand using the back of the block, so no adapter is necessary.

Re: Engine Stand Adapter
It depends what procedure you're doing. Can't remember offhand, but there's a calibration procedure when installing the flywheel that requires you to put the engine nose-down. That's why the original KRW engine stand mounted to the side.

Alexiskai: I have seen the nose down done from a rafter.

Re: Engine Stand Adapter
Kinda hard to check the runout on the Flywheel Housing, and to mount the Clutch & PP to the flywheel, isn't it?? I sure wouldn't want to assembly engines without a proper stand.

The thrifty (and we know who we are) make their own from angle iron.

The ones they have been selling, should have been made so you can get a wrench on the cap nut easier and more room to turn the wrench. It is kinda tight to get in there.

Re: Engine Stand Adapter
That is why I made my adapter. Heavier steel and adequate room for a torque wrench and socket in that middle main. Plus I have a larger engine stand that requires a bigger pipe.

Use a strong rafter.
