How much roughly does an s2 engine weigh complete?
I'm thinking of buying a stand to use when stripping an engine and I like my feet the shape they are so want to order correct weight capacity
As above, less than 200kg most of the little stands are 350-450kg so should be well within spec.
The small stands can be a bit tippy when you spin the engine, or undo certain bolts, just need to work with care/block the engine when undoing the crank bolt etc.
Thanks guys
I've seen the 3 wheels and they just reminded me of reliant robins
I need a stand as last time (years ago) I stripped a complete engine out of the car I had to chase it round the garage as I'd only got the base of a supermarket cage to rest it on
And Rover V8s have a lot of bolts to undo
I have a 4 wheel one for this reason - it works very well, even spinning over a fully dressed engine.
The disadvantage over the 3 wheel is it is more difficult to get the engine on and off it with a small 1 or 2 ton engine crane as the crane legs are not wide enough to straddle the stand legs.
