Hi All -
Can you mount a type 4 on a standard engine stand yoke - like the usual four arm set-up from places like Harbor Freight? I dont need to do any maintenance, I just want to get it off of the hoist/furniture dolly when the time comes and would rather not drop a pile of cash on another Porsche adapter. Thanks!

I like the idea of using a bell housing approach but only for it's main advantage, which is spreading the stress onto the largest surface area. That said.
The big advantages for the Porsche mount (or something like it) is that first you can split and build the case-halves while the engine is on the stand, and you have great access to the flywheel area as well. I haven't used it on a 4-cylinder in some years, but the sixes are heavier, especially with the stock exhausts still on. Good Luck |
