Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

In the picture charmalu it looks like you have the f.w. off and you bolted to the rear of block with an adapter plate not to the aluminum intermediate plate.

That is a picture of Dan Stokes 617 engine, not mine.

Refer to post #13.

I took the plate off on my parts car engine before mounting it to a stand simply because I needed it for the manual transmission. Depending on your engine stand you might need to remove it just to allow the arms to bolt in. It was 4 bolts and took all of 5 minutes to take off IIRC.

yuke:

With all of the speculation about load being placed on the intermediate plate, an important point has been overlooked:
The fasteners which attach the bell housing (and the arms of an engine stand) to the engine go through the intermediate plate, not into it. The two upper capscrews are threaded into the iron of the engine block, and the two lower bolts w/nuts pass through the cast support corners of the sump. Therefore, the intermediate plate is not subject to any bending load.

Oh so the intermediate plate could stay on or off whichever you prefer. How about the fly wheel does that have to come off or could it stay on? Frank

The FW stays on. The arms of the engine stand might need spacers/standoffs (pieces of pipe/tubing), and long bolts to reach around the rim of the FW. The arms shown in the pic of Dan Stokes' engine are probably long enough to reach w/o spacers.

Yep Charlie! That's the one. You clearly have superior 'puter skills to mine (not hard to do). That's a gear head stand (has a rotater) and it came with those long arms for reasons unknown - but I was glad to have them for this job.
