After much hesitation about assembling the engine and a few tries at different workshops (which only resulted in sloppy work), I decided I had enough and I’m doing it myself, with some help of my friends. How hard can it be, a few bolts, some sealant, oil and a manual. But,i if I’m going to this, it must be with style :) so I decided to make myself an engine stand.
First I made a no-time-to-explain model, of things that were laying around, and with approximate dimensions sent the model to my welder Očić.

The welded stand has arrived, all nicely covered in rust so some extra work was needed.

I stole the wheels from my improvised platform for moving things around and mounted them on my new engine stand.

Josip and I devised a system of adapters for different kind of engines that where laser cut and welded together.

The engine stand is now finished, engine is mounted and ready for assembly .

I mounted the engine diagonally, so we can start it on stand if we want to.

It’s so cool it deserves a few more pictures. Here you go:
