Ok, one of these days I'm gonna be pulling the engine outta the LE and rebuild it, but mazdatrix wants $90 for a damn stand adaptor. Are there any other companies that make them? if not does anyone wanna be my friend and make me one? If I had a welder and knew how to use it I'd make my own, but alas I don't

 

I just put my old engine on a creeper so I could pull it around. It held it pretty well.

 

I have built several engines and i never used a stand. I think they are somewhat limiting and get in the way. If i were you i wouldent worry about it. Just get like a good smal table and do it that way or just like 6 inch thick by 2 foot wide flat plank plank of wood works good too. when your measuring or porting stuff i usually have the plates and housings on my work bench any ways since its mor at my level rather than down on a stand. then once every thing is in the rotors as far as seals etc. and the water o rings in the housings, its a 15 minute slide together job. Basically a stand is a waste of money, i bought one, and it just takes up room.

bah, **** it, i'd rather spend the money on other stuff, i'll just throw the thing on pallette or something. Guess theres no getting around buying the flywheel removal thing.

when i unstack a motor i hang it on the holder. when i stack them i stackem on a 5 gallon bucket and to remove the flywheel i have a 3/4 900 ft lbs impact and a 2 1/8" socket 2 good wacks and off comes the nut

 

Thanks for pics carl, guess I'll do something like that.
badass: If I had access to an impact gun of that size I'd definatly use it, but I can't think of anyone who has something that massive, maybe my boss but I doubt it.

 

Hey Carl,
That looks like a good idea! I use a plastic milk crate bolted to a little wheeled cart, myself. I used to use my wife's little red Radio Flyer wagon to tote motors around, until I scratched it up.
What kind of plugs are in that motor? Just curious. -WG

 

Thanks guys. Its just 2x4's. I designed it to clear the wp studs and be stable. I dont remember about the plugs, ill look.

 

My spare engine bolted to the engine stand my uncle has. We just used some metric bolts.

mine was a shopping trolly i "borrowed", with a piece of MDF across the top and a few concrete blocks under it to take the weight.

i'll post some pics just as soon as i can scan em..
