What is the best way to put an XU9JA (D6B) on an egine stand?

Hi,

I'm getting my engine out of my 1.9GTI 205. I'm about to hang it on the winch, but I still wonder what the best way is, to put it on the engine stand. is the best way on the side of the gearbox?

All info and experiences are helpfull,

Stino

Hello,

Er, you mean you'd like to put it on the gearbox ? I guess I'd put it gently on the engine's carter instead.

Actually I recently bought an engine stand, and I just wanted to put the engine on this so I could work on it (but it is the first time I do this). The engine is now out of the car, but not on the stand yet. I thought of removing the gearbox and putting it on that side on the engine stand... or is there a better way?

yes, hold it on the gearbox side of the block. Then you can get at the side bolts which hold the centre main bearing cap in.

I'm not at all sure why women like men. We're argumentative, childish, unsociable and extremely unappealing naked. I'm quite grateful they do though.
