Default Engine stand bolts on a LQ4
Hey guys

I bought an engine stand at Harbour&Freight

I need to figure out where to plug the 4 bolts to securely hold it

1, 5, 6, 16, 15, or 14.
I used 15 and 16 on one side and 5, and 6 on the other. Basically were the tranny bolts go.

it really doens't matter just try and get the center of the engine stand is up and in line with the camshaft if possible. It balances the stand a bit better and is easier for you to rotate it. 14, 6, 5 and 15 is what i used

I had it mounted but too far away from the camshaft.. so when I wanted to rotate it, it went by 180° in tenth of a second.. scarring.. hopefully it didn't flip the whole stand..



I'm recentering it now better be safe than sorry
