Hi Just Commodore followers
Just got my series 1 VN 3.8L V6 on the garage floor ready for a freshen up. Purchased a SCA 560kg engine stand and offered the plate and 4 fixings legs up to back of block. Due to the block layout have to offset the legs on one side on block as the bloody starter dowel is in the way. See attached photo for how I've got it mounted. I've circled where I got my 4th leg mounted. Never used a stand before is there any issues cantilevering block like this off 4 bolt points? Or should I support front of block with a timber leg? Any advice appreciated as I'm sure many of you have been there done that before.
Cheers Malc
