This may have already been covered, but I haven't had any luck figuring my problem out. I've got my engine pulled, tranny separated and the engine is on my ATV jack. I just bought an engine stand and now I can't figure out how to mount the engine to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The ATV jack won't raise high enough to get all 4 mounting points to line up. And, the base of the stand won't allow the stand to get close enough to the engine, due to the base of the jack.
Anyone have any tricks they could share? Attached thumbnail(s)

I got the cheap chain hoist at HF and use one of the exposed trusses in the roof of my garage. Also a cloth strap on either side of the engine, tied together into the hoist hook in the middle. Lifts it like it's nothing, and allows some freedom of adjustment to get it in my stand.
http://www.harborfreight.com/1-ton-chain-hoist-996.html Wait for the 20% coupon in the mail and it's 40 bucks. Cheaper than a shop crane, and takes up way less space. |
