Help. .Engine Almost Out

[TedSlick]

When not on the stand, I support my engine on an arrangement of rubber cushions, located at several points on the underside of the case.

An unorthodox engine drop... into the hole (pics)

They're made from rubber mallet heads, cut to various heights as necessary. The first version of this device was screwed to a wood base, but I later attached the rubber cushions to a steel plate by inserting them over little steel studs welded to the plate. Can be rotated on the cart if necessary. Very stable and engine friendly, and takes the weight off the heat exchangers.

Here's the steel plate version without the rubber inserted:
