Re: Engine Stand... I dont see how
Quote:
Utilizing a plate that spans the entire bellhousing face and fastens to all of the bolt holes will help to reduce the stress at head fastener by spreading across a larger number (area). That's the route to go, regardless of the quality of the actual stand, when bolting from the bellhousing.

Re: Engine Stand... I dont see how
The problem is multiplied when the stand head has poor quality control and lacks good assembly tolerances.If you read my post carefully I state " this only complicates the stress on the engine contact points". That is all I said.Nothing about slop in mechanisim.
I am referring to all arms being the same dimensions and tolerances. which is not the case in many cheap stands.I have no problems with your statement about stress concentrations when all other tolerances are adhered to. R |

Re: Engine Stand... I dont see how
We'll I agree a 59 motor may hang static indefinitely on the bellhousing, but you can't tell me you'd feel comfortable bouncing 8BA valves out of it during a tear down or knocking out stuck pistons.

Re: Engine Stand... I dont see how
A good friend of mine has a `48-`50 F-1 he bought for a song. It was to be a father-son project. They had hung the engine on an engine stand and it broke the bell housing. My friend put a 302 in it and uses it for a beater.
