CCM911...I use a jack that has a 34" rise to it.
I picked it up at the local cheap tool place here in Vancouver...will look at it tomorrow to get the model number. I built an aluminum plate that fits into the hole on the jack...so it distributes the weight to lift the engine safely. Works like a charm...the engine has been out and in twice this way. Bob |
Dennis,
You have a PM ... Cheers ! Phil |
Getting the engine onto the stand...
Various ways of lifting the engine onto the stand here.
After a couple of rickety episodes with jacks and a stack of lumber, I wised up and got one of these. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1317559607.jpg Much safer for me, my helper and the engine. |
Drilled the yoke tube to lock with a pin in 4 positions. Drilled the end of pipe to install rotation and moving handle.
I'm happy with this HF Stand and E-Bay yoke. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1317789905.jpg |
That looks good. I picked up a HF stand and am going with the eBay yoke, as it's less spensive than the adapter. The pics of the motors are inspirational!

I picked up a yoke as well,it shipped today ...
Thank you Dennis for the pics and the feedback !!! Cheers ! Phil |
I picked up the eBay yoke as well and have issues mounting it to the block. My exhaust is still attached and I run interference with the crossover pipe. My thought is to remove the flywheel first and slide in the engine holder. Any suggestions?
If that doesn't work then I may just get the mainely adapter ring, though a previous poster said that setup makes removing the flywheel difficult due to access. BTW, my engine core did not have trans mount studs installed, what size should be used? |
wildcat077 Modified his yoke to address this issue.
There are pictures here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/639299-ebay-engine-stand-yoke.html#post6366165 and here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/635186-strong-enough-lift-engine.html There are some other posts about clearing the exhaust elsewhere, do a search on wildcat077's posts. I didn't modify mine but I did switch it from left to right side and back once or twice. |
got it. that helps alot. I did grind to clear the exhaust and monday i will check the oil cooler clearance.

Joe,
You need to use two .500 spacers so the yoke doesn't rest right against the oil cooler.With the spacers i was able to remove/install my oil cooler to clean it and change the three seals ! No need to grind too much ...you just have to remove the upper crosspipe bolt and the yoke should clear. Good time to remove all the original bolts and install 5/16 stainless bolts ! Cheers ! Phil |

I think i'll try grinding the horse shoe to clear the thermo similar to the. Mainely ring adapter and p201 |
I used the ebay yoke and the mainely adapter ring together. This gave me plenty of clearance for the flywheel and exhaust while still spreading the load better than spacers.
