Message	I bought an engine stand rated at 1000lbs from harbor shit, and when I raised the engine to set it on the stand I noticed that the little arms on the stand where too short so I took the clutch off, now the arms reach but the bolts from tranny to block are too short too! I'll get longer bolts tomorrow but should i take the flywheel off? What is recomended and if the engine has both turbos, everything connected including crossmember and rack, how much does it weight? Is it over 1000lbs?
