Dirtysanchez 0 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi all,I'm after recommendations for an engine crane and stand. I've decided to buy a second VR6 engine and rebuild it before it's put in the car, minimizing the time the Golf is off the road. I'm thinking about going down the turbo route at the same time, so it'll be handy to have the engine easily accessible.Ideally the crane needs to be foldable and I'm budgeting around the £200 mark for both bits of equipment.So, suggestions please!

Gregsyb 4 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've got that sealey engine stand, definitely recommended for the price.Bought it from the same seller too. When mine arrived, half he bolts were missing due to Mr. Postman driving like a clown! Emailed the seller and he sent me a full set of fasteners. Top bloke! Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtysanchez 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Calico, thanks for those links, they look like they could be just what I'm after!Bungy, tell me about it, I've lost count of the number of times I've thought to myself "why am I doing this? It'd be so much easier if I wasn't crammed underneath the car" lolGrrr, that's good info too, thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
