CB750F2 .... silk purse from a sows ear.
Nurse Julie:
If you need a proper engine stand, we make them and sell them to forum members. They give enough clearance that you can build the complete engine, including sump. PM me if you ever need one, no complaints from forum members so far who are or have used them. Check the max weight if the work mate, you need about 100kg. I help Graham lift these engines and I'm no wimp but they are bloody, bloody heavy, especially lifting from floor to strip down bench so just be careful.
SumpMagnet:
The workmate is ok for the weight, but I hear you on just how heavy these things are. We barely managed to shift the lump in the frame, so was guessing around the 100kg mark for the engine. Hence my desire to avoid trying to dead lift it out if the frame.
Engine stand interests me. Any chance you could message me some details/pics/prices? May have to save up the pennies, but these sorts of things often repay in ease of working, lack of scraped knuckles and avoided aggravation further down the line.
Nurse Julie:
PM me your email address and I will send you some pics etc later. Off out for a ride now, it's such a glorious morning.
K2-K6:
For just generally laying them on their side to remove engine or just sitting around and to avoid find/casing damage, you can use an old car tire.
They'll usually let you have one for nowt at a friendly tire depot, 14 Inch diameter is not a bad size for it.
UK Pete:
