Engine Stand
I'm thinking about buying an engine stand now that i have the finances to buy one, but i have 1 question first.
Can you just put a block on an engine stand without the head etc? As all i am really wanting the stand for is to more easily clean/paint the engine and then aid in reassembly when i get to that stage. Cheers

engine stands are pretty universal in the way they hold an engine, they have a sliding bolt arrangement to allow different engines to fit on the stand so basically if you have 4 mounting points ( holes in the block ) to attach to then don,t see why it wouldn,t work, they certainly help when you start putting it back together
 .cheers andy

Tatey - have a look in the pics in my signature and you will see how I've got my Pinto on an engine stand.
Cheers Dave

Just bought one from Machine Mart for the garage £60 ish for the bigger one and as Andy say's just bolt through block holes,you may need some longer bolts.
pop in and have a look if you want.

Would i be able to come in tomorrow to have a look? Also.....would i be able to bring my head and crank down, as i gave the spark plug method a go last week but i didn't manage to get the retainers out, im guessing there is a nack to it? and i'm still having difficulties getting the camshaft pulley and crankshaft pulley's off.
