Make sure when you get that sucker mounted to center the engine height to the mounting. Otherwise, when you turn it, WHOOPS, it spins violently, maybe into you.

Alright, so I went and picked up some long metric bolts about 4 and 3/4 inches but im unlittle unlclear if Im doing this right. I threaded the bolts in all the way, the head through the mounting gear or arms on the engine stand and the rest into the engine. The problem is there is alot of exposed bolt sticking out of the engine is that normal? The engine is definatly not flush with the engine stand arms. Also, can someone elaborate on how to center the engine on the stand.
I appreciate the help thanks, Mike.

I modified an engine stand like shown with a plate and standoffs designed specifically for the 616/617 engine. I will find out if it will work with a 602 engine over the next couple days.

You have to have the the engine block flush with the mounting surfaces. I ended up using spacers and a lot of washers to accompish this. See pic below to see my makeshift spacers.

I am using roughly 125mm bolts and there is about an inch space right now. I have been looking at that picture for the last hour trying to figure out how you went about setting it up. I never nocticed all those spacers in your picture you must have preety long bolts also.
Thanks, Mike

All the mounting bolts should be drawn up tight. If a bolt is too long, put washers or a 1/2 drive socket under the head of the bolt.
Try to get the weight of the engine centered on the stand. The axis of the stand should be about in the middle of the block, not the crankshaft.
