    It's got to have head work done (not by me/or maybe new heads)and oil leaks looked at maybe new barrels and pistons

  6. Can't beat them if you're doing serious engine dismantling. I got a cheap Sealy wheely thing in an eBay sale, and replaced the standard engine holder with a semicircular VW/Porsche engine holder that slides into the stand.

    Super duper, can twizzle the engine through 360* (and work sitting down).

    I have one like the one pictured that I don't need. Only used a couple of times. Looks like they sell new for about £50+ post. If you're interested I'll remind myself how it comes apart. If the upright comes off the base, yours for £35 including postage if you're interested.

    The good thing about it is that i used the bace to pull the engine and push back into the van so could whip it out by myself.
