rviglierchio Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Has anyone modified an auto engine stand to hold a Lycoming? I'm looking for a salvaged engine mount to modify in some fashion unless anyone has worked this out already and can share the method. Thank you.

Waiter Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My Lycoming has a conical mount so it was EZ. This same thing may work with a Dynafocal??? Look at http://www.iflyez.com/LongEZ%20Construction%20Photos%204.shtml These are engine photos during my construction, you can clearly see the O-320 sitting on a standard automotive engine stand. I used regular water pipes, 8 inches long, 3/8 threaded rod, and large area washers.

rviglierchio Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks Waiter. I have been sent this link that takes into account the angle for my engine mounts. Looks like just what I need. http://web.archive.org/web/20050907044214/http://www.intergate.com/~msnook/aviation/eng_stand/eng_stand.htm Thanks again.
