Hi All, I have 2 standard engine stands that I have used over the last few years, and I was wondering if I need to purchase another engine stand to work on my 1776 engine or any aircooled vw engines that I may work on in the future. The one Stand's weight limit is 1250 pounds and the other is a 2000 pounder. I know I am fine on the weight limit but has anybody tried bolting them up to a stand thats a non-vw specified type? Any specific things I will need to do to avoid any pitfalls?
I plan on removing the flex plate (The 1776 engine has/had a VW003 Fully Automatic Transmission attached to it) before any work is started.
I plan on getting a Bettle over the next year and was curious do I need to purchase one for any work that I will do on the 1600 engine that it may have.
Thanks, Chris
