How to Mount an Engine to an Engine Stand

[@jimepler]

Dude you just showed in like 2 minutes what I've been trying to figure out by reading discussion threads for two days! Great job!

[@CarsNToys]

Awesome man. Glad to help out.

[@OneWireOne]

AMEN!!!

[@marcuscoats2942]

Amazing!! I've been searching for this information for a few days as well. Thank you!!!!

[@sebastiansavalli8109]

Thank you man!! Was on the phone for 45 minutes talking to bolt supply Co. That had no idea what I was talking about. With a HD a block away I was back in business within 10 minutes

[@retrocjt]

I’m surprised the stand is engineered to hold that much weight on 4 bolts, awesome video it’s helped me a lot!

[@kensendelofski3761]

Thanks, and thanks for not playing loud rap music and waving your hands around like so many guy's do in other videos.

[@CarsNToys]

Appreciate the feedback. Glad to help.

[@KarlH1980]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. If I may add a thought.... Local hardware stores are cheaper and often more helpful than the big box stores. Plus you're helping out local business when you use a local store vs. Home Depot, etc...

[@tommyholtMN]

I’m just about to do this and can’t thank you enough for sharing this.

[@jkhadley289]

This is the easiest to figure out and follow video. I think I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for making something I have struggled to understand fairly easy to comprehend. Thank you.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AllAmericanDreamChaser]

I should have watched this video before I mounted my engine to the stand. Now I know how to do it right the next time. This is a great video. Thank you! 😀👍

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help out!

[@blackbeard0074]

Uh oh that doesnt sound good... any damage?

[@jellofuel]

Awesome video! I've pulled the engine out of my 350z, and was thinking where to mount it to the stand. Pulled it out using 4 head studs on the back of the engine, and totally forgot about the bell housing lol

[@cmankingcmanking3219]

Im bout to dive into taking this motor out an rebuilding it in couple days , any suggestions an hints could help me out alot !!

[@williamtucker1075]

He explained everything really well. Good video.

[@wyattandwill12]

Great video. I work at an equipment rental store so I shouldn’t have to buy a hoist since were supposed to replace the one a customer broke before. Plan is to get my measurements tonight and put together my new stand (sold the other one bc something came up), then tomorrow or Saturday buy the hardware and rent the hoist Saturday. Hopefully the rebuild won’t be extensive, engine only has 70K but it overheated very badly due to low coolant, long story.

[@Sarm-mx6qy]

Awesome! Thank you. Perfectly delivered. 👍

[@bojohn771]

Thanks, you just helped me do what i been to scared to do for a year.

[@ulrichfroehlich3542]

Thanks, FYI a lot of tape measures have metric and standard measure like the one you are using. No need to convert. We just forget to look because we don't use it often...

[@fixingitrightish]

Great video, very informative and to the point. I appreciate the info

[@michaellemley2530]

I must say, I like your taste in cars.

[@50629]

Literally pulling the engine on my yellow 280 Z and mounting it on engine mount perfect video thank you

[@CarsNToys]

Awesome! Hope your Z doesn't have too much rust

[@NativeBalli]

Thanks! Just bought my first engine stand and bouts to do my first engine overhaul.

[@CarsNToys]

Awesome!

[@Max_Arjona]

You can also cut the bolts to length if you are opposed to using washers for whatever reason.

[@worksmartnothard163]

Thanks for making this

[@johng5295]

Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome imagination. Grade: A++💥

[@SlowpokeShred]

Saved me some time. Thanks for the vid!

[@oldschool240]

Good explanation!

[@ikel018]

Thank you for this video...💯😊

[@AionRevoke]

u can also use a vernier caliper if you have one

[@onicejade2010]

Thanks for sharing this great and practical vídeo.

[@streetstallion]

I have a in-line 6 aswell the Ford 200ci to be exact. I’m really afraid the engine is to heavy for the stand because the engine is so long and the front of the motor is leaning downwards just s little. Is this normal?

[@CarsNToys]

First make sure the stand can withstand the weight. You may see a slight decline toward the end of the engine. You can place sand bags on the legs of the stand as a safety net.

[@jdmbandarelos1310]

that Datsun :):):):) very nice man! But this Engine Stand looks so damn unstabil....OMG

[@ralphmoran]

Smple and direct. Thans

[@jorgetoloza269]

Dude, thanks for the info, been trying to figure that my self..u made it easier for me...Ft Lauderdale..

[@jmrodri69]

The problem we had with a friend's Miata project is the transmission bolts were M12 x 80 with a 1.50 thread pitch. All the part stores had M12 1.75 pitch.

[@Sarm-mx6qy]

Even Ace Hardware? Darn.

[@BigSauceOfficial]

Thanks for the help!!!

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help out!

[@drewledet6820]

Putting a straight 6 in a MG, I love it!

[@anthony-li5hp]

i think thats a 240z but i could me wrong

[@mmmmmMuffinz]

thank you for this video! :D

[@CarsNToys]

My pleasure!

[@xushenxin]

good to know!

[@wilfredoperez6755]

thank you for the video

[@derpaderp6642]

HARBOR FREIGHT! thanks for the video

[@yosoydpfknr2855]

My problem it's not the bolts my problem is that the engine stand can get inside enough of the engine hoist to bolt it on

[@CarsNToys]

Yes, it can be a little tricky sometimes.

[@mechanicshaficug9456]

Thanks alot men

[@tanglewood777]

i want put my stag engine on but the bolts are very thin don't think they will take weight the bolts aren't as thik as yours in vid

[@Sickstringfarm]

Crazy that i just googled how to mount an engine to stand and a yellow z car pops up. That's what I'm working on too ! 😮

[@rishabhdogra8404]

What is the minimum number of bolts required to safely mount an engine on a stand?

[@CarsNToys]

Typically four. You could probably go less if the bolt is long enough and high grade but I wouldn't chance it.

[@victorflores925]

Vernier caliper for the diameter, tap and die set should have a thread pitch tool.

[@luispadilla1675]

Which brand of stand ?

[@CarsNToys]

[@pyrolinn2088]

Harbor Freight FTW!

[@Nicholas_Triumph_Thruxton]

Wait, so only 4 bolts hold up the engine block? 🤔

[@Timsmoto]

Thought this was the guy from Clerks for a min. That voice.

[@Z32spdstr]

I would have used the transmission bolts

[@TheFeed816]

3 minutes in of figuring out what size bolt to use

[@tt-rs1457]

That Stand can handle an Inlinesix. This days, wanted tro put my Hemi on that kind of Motorstand.

[@BWADaniel]

I’m getting ready to put mine on it. Bare block though. I’ll put the heads on when the motors back in the car.

[@lParohlx]

No thanks. I like to weld mine to the stand to make it more secure

[@yosoydpfknr2855]

Lol hahahahaha You got to be fucking kidding me hahahaha

[@michaelforansich8090]

...and then you weld it onto the subframe when you put it back in the car. Don't need those anoying engine mounts like everyone else uses. ... and by secure you mean using your special home made cast-iron welder bahaha

[@robmuldoon8938]

Horrible and no information on weight why you mount it to the rear and it looks like the first time he did it looking at the engine stand

[@adamwillis6693]

Shit v8 Horse power
