max0 5 Posted April 15, 2007 My old 1.6 lump has been kicking about and on thursday I borrowed a engine stand of frodomonkey to start the fun and games.. Here are a few pics Last engine I did was on a work mate or the floor so the engine stand is a god send. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully ill have some pennies left over after your misses serviced my car You still got my engine paint?

(i'm guessing engine hoist ?) Im about 10.5 stone n work in IT and i mananged without a engine hoist. It did take a about 30 mins of working out how tho. I wouldnt recomend doing it on your own tho. If its a iron block i wouldnt have even tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
