Probably a simple question but cant find in manual ... will a 450kg engine stand do the job ???

Thanks , Dave .
When I was a young man I spent most of my money on cars , beer and women (in that order) ... the rest ... I just wasted !

I pulled mine out with the box with one and it didn't strain

Dave,

The basic SuperCheap engine stand (from memory 450kg capacity) will hold a grey, though the frame distorts a little (wants to put the nose of the engine down). Not a major deal, though I built a simple brace out of scrap RHS to go on the nose of mine. The crashbox won't be attached on the stand, but weighs little anyway (27kg no clutch, flywheel or oil).

Cheers,
Harv.
