nige90 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi alll, Picked up an engine stand from our favourite market place and would like some advice on where to fit the Tdi onto it. Side or back where the flywheel housing fits ? It's a Machine mart job, which according to the website can handle 340kg but I've already removed a lot of weight, head and ancillaries. All I intend to hang off the stand is the basic short motor to facilitate sump removal. Thanks in advance. Nige BTW what is the weight of a built up 200Tdi anyway ?

Les Henson Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I didn't know and engine could be mounted on a stand from the side. You could build the whole engine without problems in that case. 340kg is more than 1/4 ton, so should be strong enough. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige BTW what is the weight of a built up 200Tdi anyway ? i'm building a 200tdi on said stand at the mo ive bolted it on the rear face of the block with clutch and clutch casing removed using the four cap head bolts from the clutch casing was then going to hang it on the crane to do the clutch end and then bung it back in the truck BTW its a defender lump but i don't think it makes much differance mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Here's how i recently did a 300Tdi, my engine mount has adjustable arms so i just hung the engine there with the crane and adjusted the arms to suit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
