Oh, how did I get the motorcycle jack and the engine on the 8 inch 2x4 built stand?
When I lower the engine, i did not drop the engine on the motorcycle jack. I built a palate /w 2x4 to sit between the engine and the jack. the palate is much wider than the engine and the jack.
I then moved the engine and motorcyle jack to another area of the garrage. Put 2 tires and more 2x4 on the edge of the palate so i can lower the engine/palate onto the tires. Now I can remove the motorcyle jack, or put the motorcycle jack on the 2x4 built stands and raise the engine/palate again.
I did this the very first time I drop the engine. Did it it a single car garrage along with tools, tv, etc. Did it in the middle of the winter. Rebuilt the engine (topend) the first time I dropped it. Damm...it was a miracle everything worked.
