Engine stand
« on: 01 February 2011, 18:27 »
Hi guys and girls.. Need a engine stand for rebuilding my ABF lump wondered if this one was ok ??

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ENGINE-GEARBOX-STAND-350KG-ES350-SEALEY-TOOLS-NEW-/400187160551?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d2d0377e7#ht_2994wt_698

Its the cheapest but Sealey from what people have told me is a relatively good make and its free delivery..

Thanks in advance.. if its no good point me in right direction.. by the way im not going to be rebuilding any v10's so dont need one that can take 2tonnes lol

I also need advice on a way to lift the engine up so can hook it up onto the engine stand.. i cant afford and dont have room for a engine hoist.. in my garage i have steel beams going across that will be strong enough to withstand the weight of the engine can someone recommend a hoist or bull and chain for attaching to this beam please..

Most engine hoists fold up, also you can hire them much safer and more controlled then a lifting hoist  :smiley:

HSS lift & Shift or Lifting Point both hire out engine hoists for not too much money.
