Also, as I'm standing here looking at the sump, I wouldn't sit the engine on the floor without the sump on as there is a little oil tube thingy, that looks like that would hit the deck and snap off. I will say, I did have to have help to actually lift the engine from the floor once out of the frame  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nurse Julie:
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Yes Dave, humping engines around is definitely his speciality

The engines sit nicely enough with the oil filter housing and sump in situ, and as my shed is a bit of a mess I normally stick the oil filter back on as soon as that bit is clear of the frame, but still supported, minimalising the chances for dirt or dust to get in. I have about 8 500/550 engines stood like this awaiting either work or installation. I also like a very basic engine stand I picked up in a job lot that allows me to test engines complete with exhaust without installing it.

Matthew, any chances to see a picture of that engine stand?
