Engine stand questions
Hi All,
We are getting ready to pull out the engine and start some of the maintenance it needs (pan, reseals, uppies, e fuel etc) and i'm now starting to question our engine stand plan.
I was planning to use this one from harbor freight:
https://www.harborfreight.com/2000-l...and-69521.html
With the cherry picker still supporting it in case of a melt down.
I'm hearing that the bolt plate won't go wide enough to hook up. Anyone use this and have issues?
I've read online of folks using it so i'm a little confused and given the timeline we have of getting this out and back in I can't waste a day on finding out this won't work.
I'd love your thoughts/exp.
Thanks!
