Anyone in here using any particular type of engine stands for their 4 bangers?
Do I need to look for any particular type or can I just buy one out of Summits catalog? I know theirs are made for the V-8's and bolt up to the rear like a bellhousing. Just wondering if these will work on 4 bangers as well.

 

i dont know what exactly ur talking about... but this is what i genreally use when i do happen to do something on a motor... and as far as iv seen... its the only type stand most builders use (for honda's at least)

 

cool
Looks like what I've used in the past for other engines, just wanted to make sure it works.
thanks

 

You can pick up engine stands from Advance, AutoZone, or even PepBoys probably for less than you can through mail-order (especially after shipping charges from Summit).

 

I got mine for $30 brand new. You gotta love Harbor freight tools.

 

hey b18c ej1, where did you get the harbor freight tools catalog at? i received one in the mail a while back but haven't received one since. i remember seeing an engine hoist in there for around 80 dollars.

and do you know where they're located? and last question, what is the quality of their tools?

 

They're a harbor freight local to me. Quality is ..."ok" nothing to squawk about. But hell for $30, I can afford to get another if it breaks or someone steals it.

I think they have an online catalog.

This is the one I got. They have it for $50, but I think I got it on sale for $30.

i always thought they were more expensive. Are you able to swivel the engine on that?
