Engine Stand Question

Onefast99gsx · 02-17-2007

Hi guys- I'm removing the motor out of the GSX this weekend. I want to put it up onto the engine stand once it's out. The front/lower bell housing bolt hole on the block has a guide pin in it. Do you normally have to remove this or how do you get around it? I tried lightly with a pliers and it started to knurl it so i backed off.

Thanks for any help...

Well what I did was use the stock main bolts. I know for sure I used the two top tranny bolt holes. The other two I don't remember. Just try to find holes with the same thread pitch.

Actually, here's an old picture. You just thread the bolt into the hole you mentioned.

The tranny dowel pin slides right into an engine stand arm.

Thanks guys... I ended up having to ream out the engine stand post thing with a drill. It wouldn't have fit otherwise. This is a home-made stand that I borrowed.
