Lol very newB / dumb
Basically ive just got hold of a complete b16a motor. Comes with starter, flywheel etc.... just about everything apart from the gearbox. The head is also off.
This motor is stored at where i work.
Im planning on taking the motor to my garage and putting it on the stand, problem is i can only borrow an engine crane for a few hours.

Basically i need to know the minimum amount of things i should remove from the engine before i can mount it to the stand.

1 : Flywheel ( starter motor ? )
2 : crank pulley ( got air wrench/ compressor at work )

Everything else should be servicable and removable on the stand right ?

Thanks guys

you can keep the fly wheel on if ya want to, or you can take it off.

as long as there is no tranny attached to it just put the motor in the stand.

I would remove the fly wheel though that way ya can change the rear main seal

 

well everything is coming out including the crank, so the flywheel will need to come off before mounting it wont it ?

 

Friggen noobs!

You dont need an engine hoist to get a b-series on an engine stand! lol.

- Take the tranny off and the flywheel.

- Take the black assembly off of the engine stand and bolt it to the B16 on the floor. If tranny bolts are too short use engine mount bolts.

- Put the stand against the wall so that it can't roll.

- One guy grabbs the intake manifold and the other guy grabbs the exhaust manifold (or whatever!)

you can figure out the rest.

 

lol dont be like that with me :D im not that dumb

i can figure that out, the main problem is im on my own, and im not strong enough to lift the block on its own i dont think.
It doesnt have the head on either - which makes it lighter ( 15kg bare yeah i weighed the head lol )

the garage is far away from people who would help / that i want to help.

The garage is going to have a small fortune in it - not something i want to find missing one day

 

you will be able to lift the block with the crank in it, there not that heavy at all. i carried mine from inside my house to outside by my self

 

alright thanks, i hadnt tried it yet to be honest.
it does still have the starter , alternator etc ,flywheel, crank pulley , lol
Ill take it to the garage then strip it on the floor ( ancillaries ) then lift the stripped block, crank , rods n pistons.

also any idea on the thread/ length of the bolts ? I dont have any trany bolts, or engine mount bolts.

when I stripped my buddies LS block I could of probably carried it with one hand if I could of got a good grip on it.
