Hey All,
So I've made some big strides in completing my first engine build. But between using a megasquirt and all the other changes, I'd like to build up an engine test stand, Anyone have any notes or experience doing this? Thanks, -- Steve |

I made a stand out of wood that allows the engine, tranny, exhaust, starter, etc all to be hooked up as one unit.
This is the best picture I have of it... (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/2521540262_df709aa6a4.jpg) The toggle switch powered the ignition, fuel pump, and tach. the push button was only for the starter. that way, I could turn the engine over w/o spark for compression testing, building oil pressure, etc. Cost to build was ~$30 It was designed so the whole stand could be rolled under the 914 for easy re-installation. You can see, at the back of the stand, it is a hollow center so a standard floor jack can be rolled in to lift the engine (using a CFR lifting plate). Zach |
