I'm a bit perplexed by the discussion on making the Harbor Freight
engine
stand fit. I bought one and it worked. I had to buy extra long metric
bolts
at the hardware store and used washers and short pieces of pipe to
shim
the
engine out from those adjustable arms on the stand. I bolted it in to
the
rear of the engine and used the shims to hold it out, so the
flywheel/flex
plate had clearance from the stand.>>

If all you want to do is mount the engine on a stand, that's fine.  However,
the engine MUST be disassembled by removing the flywheel end housing first.
Pretty hard to do this when its bolted to the engine stand.
