Mine did just fine, you have your arms adjusted kind of weird. I bolted mine up to two of the upper bolts and two of the side bolts to balance it a bit better

they all sag some, part of it is the position of the block the more centered it is the easier it will turn but still takes muscle, i stand the blocks up bolt the bracket to them, then put it on the stand

@willhorne22 yours does look like its has way more sag, its try to tighten up the arms at the plate side use a jack and 2x4 to take some of the weight off then tighten maybe re-position the block higher then tighten if you can


here you can see how i have the arms located on my block, looks like the same stand as yours

Make sure yall check the welds on the joint between the plate and the tube. Friend of mine bought one and the weld missed almost completely so the engine instantly dropped when he tried to attach it. He brought it to me and I welded the **** out of it, but if it had been just a little more welded in the first place it probably wouldve failed with the engine on it instead of immediately while he still had it hooked to the picker.

Or pick up an older used, made in USA engine stand off craigslist.

Well the saga continues. New crankshaft is here, I checked my main bearing clearances and it barely even mashed the plastiguage.

More delays. Gotta buy .010 undersized bearings for rods and main.

Yikes, I just checked mine yesterday. Luckily they were good.

is it in spec? what that crank turned?

willhorne22

Yah the crank was turned, the shop didn't let me know before hand I'd need undersized bearings. They wrote it on the front though.

I'll see how fast summit can get them to me. Man this was an expensive mistake.
