Will hopefully be starting the build of my second A65 motor before too long and thought that an engine stand will make life a bit easier.  Have looked at a few on line but these seem to be limited to 30kg max weight, Sealey MES01 for example.  With the A65 motors weighing around 62kg when built up can anyone recommend a suitable stand?  Thanks.  Rob

When I built a Triumph engine recently I just knocked something up out of scrap timber and metric studding:

That's a neat and simple idea...why didn't I think of it?  I'll make something up similar which means I can now put the £100 or so a stand may have cost back into the build. Thanks for that!!  Rob
