Engine stand

[nuvolari]

Thanks for this thread as I just bought an engine stand and was worried about using just four crankcase threaded holes to support all the weight of the engine.

But apparently that's sufficient. Any problems or issues?

If our bolts can support a cast iron big block Chevy engine, it can hold up an M96.

I felt the same way when I first used my stand, I was sure that something would break. But 3 engines later I am starting to feel confident Just make sure the bolts are long enough and that the threads are good in the holes that you use. I bought long bolts and had to put washers on them to not bottom out in the bolt holes, but "better looking at it than looking for it".
