Question

Where can I get an engine stand for the ej20 block?

or, which of the multitude of universal engine stands out there will the ej20 fit on happily (with and without the heads on).

cheers

I have a cheap Sealey stand. Cost under £40 and works vor most engines, including the EJ20. Well worth it. Most stands are of identical design so almost any should do.

Cheers for that, Looks good, I was expecting to pay alot more than that.

Where exactly does it grip the block?? It looks like it where the flywheel is....

You adjust the stand to take the bottom two g/box studs, and then use 1~2 bolts at the top.

Only problem with the design, is that you can't work on the FW end of the engine, when it's mounted.

Mark.

I think most stands will require the flywheel to be removed for full access to the engine. A bit annoying, but I can live with it.
If its just the heads you are removing, then I think you can leave the flywheel in place. If removing pistons, remove it before mounting the engine on the stand.
