Wrongheaded/unwarranted assumption #99:



OK. I bought two standard items most every mechanic owns. A cherry-picker hoist, and a rotating engine stand. Who would have thunk they are not compatible? For the life of me, I cannot figure out how you attach a hoisted engine to the stand, as the legs of both interfere with each other (unless I am overlooking something obvious, which at my age is entirely feasible). You would think this problem might have come up before?



My only apparent option, since the motor assembly work is going on in my basement, which just so happens by some stroke of incredible serendipity to have a steel beam supporting the overhead floor joists (installed to stretch floor space for a full sized pool table), is to get a chain hoist and drill attaching bolt holes in the I-beam flanges. If anyone with construction experience advises against this, I'm all ears!
