Engine Stand Question
When mounting a model A engine to an engine stand, which bolt holes should be used?
The crankshaft sticks out so far in the back that it is proving difficult to get solid mount to then engine stand head. Thx. |

Re: Engine Stand Question
Mount to the coolant inlet on the side of the engine. Use grade 5 or better bolts that are fully engaged in the threaded holes. Use washers if too long. I had to weld my arms to the plate to keep them from rotating. I can grind the weld away if the stand is needed for a more modern engine (doubtful).

Re: Engine Stand Question
It sounds like the OP is trying to mount the engine from the back without an adapter...

Re: Engine Stand Question
I mounted mine with the 1st part of the transmission housing attached to the motor.

Re: Engine Stand Question
Bob, That will work well except when it comes time to mount the flywheel housing, flywheel and clutch parts. Those parts should be installed with the engine vertical, nose down.
