If you have a local bug shop, they will have the studs you need.
Go over the engine with a fine toothed comb after you have totally gotten over it falling in the first place. You want to be looking for cracks in your heads, cylinders, and engine case. Needless to say, when you put it back together you are going to want to check compression and leak. But before you put it back together take a solid afternoon and inspect everything. Cracked crank or con rod is also possible depending how it fell. Will probably be fine, but crank failure during operation could grenade the engine. I have owned three HF engine stands. All three worked exactly as I expected them to, though two of them were used to build a rotesserie and were heavily modified. Zach |

Update-
I searched my old emails and found that I had purchased my head studs about 3 years ago from Richard at European Motorworks. I was able to contact him and he was a huge help. I should also note that I have always been very pleased with the studs that he sells. Since he was so helpful to me I feel like I should post a like to their website http://www.europeanmotorworks.com/ Also, I inspected my engine stand to see what broke. There is one large bolt at the bottom of the stand that holds all the pieces together. The bolt was the only piece that broke. I was able to get a high quality bolt and reassemble the stand. I also put a few extra bolts in for safety. |
