Today we cover how to properly mount an engine to a stand. This is a pretty simple process but the main thing I wanted to help out with is how to choose the right bolt. The correct size that it.

Awesome video! I never even thought to mount the plate to the motor first. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I’m a tiny block Honda guy without an engine hoist so this was lifesaving 🙏🏽 Thank you so much 😁

Nice one. Am looking to remove an engine from a project vehicle and it makes sense to mount it on a stand. Wan't sure of a good procedure and this makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

I had to put a 1939 Buick L8 engine on a stand but I didn't trust the stand being so much shorter than the engine so I built a rolling cradle for it with left over angle iron for fire place hearths and 3/16 plate. the cast iron tranny is still attached .

Was wondering just now for no reason how to bolt my engine to a stand if i take it out, 5 mins later, now I know. Thankyou.

@barntsb Год назад

Do you have an opinion about how to "CENTER" the engine on the bracket so that when you rotate it it stays somewhat symmetrical?

@Rythecarguy Год назад

This really depends on how adjustable your arms are. You need to choose the trans mounting holes that align the center Kline Of the engine with the support post on the stand.

Get threaded rods and nuts, not bolts, so that u can adjust the depth into the bell housing.

Hey buddy, thanks for the video. May I ask where you bought the m10 bolt ? All the m10 I could find at Lowe’s and Home Depot are not threaded all the way like the one you have

@Rythecarguy Год назад

Glad you like it! The bolts I bought we're not all the way threaded either but here ya go, I found them on Amazon: amzn.to/3H6wViA

Eh, they will all be different, just tighten them down. Don't exceed the original specs of the trans to engine bolts.

@khester7397 Год назад

I'm relieved to see someone putting an even larger engine on one of these cheesy 3 wheeled stands. I just put a fully dressed 1.6TD on one and it doesn't inspire confidence

@Rythecarguy Год назад

I will say this one was home made by some dude that lived down the road and it is beefy AF it's all super strong square steel. When I first put it on I was nervous but by the time I was done it was NBD. That engine was about 550 lbs.

@stevenandkimmetzger880 Год назад

I've never done this and I'm not trying to ask stupid questions. What if you have to work on the clutch or flywheel? Do you just attach the stand to the other end of the engine?

@Rythecarguy Год назад

not a stupid question! You don't know until you know! It depends on you're situation. You cannot attach it to the other end of the engine. You need to remove the clutch and maybe even the flywheel to make the engine fit on the stand. If you are careful you can sit the engine on an old tire or do like I did. I set it up some wood blocks so support it on. Yours would have to be more study than mine since mine was just temporary untill I got it on the stand. You can see it in the very end of part 4 and the very beginning of part 5 of my engine rebuild series. Here is part 4: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nWoINttEKZs.html Hope this helps!

@khancross 6 месяцев назад

Thats strange that 4 bolts and moreover the thread holes can carry the whole engine weight without breaking the block cos it is pulling downwards the one side. I would put another stand or a wood on the other side to balance the weight

@lucasthornton7620 3 месяца назад

Few questions, do you need to remove the gearbox first before mounting the engine? and with the spacers is there any chance they'll bow at all or are they pretty solid?

@Rythecarguy 3 месяца назад

Yes, the gearbox has to come off. As long as you get very high-quality bolts and thick spacers, your spacers should not bow or bend.

I'm gonna call you a Genius, because you found a solutions so this won't happen again, I'm glad you're OK. I totally understand why you did what you did, you're alone at the shop, time is slowly but surely passing by and bottom line you need to get shit done. Keep up the good work.
