The stand or the adapter? LOL



It's a 750 lb stand, the adapter can probably handle more. 3/8" thick steel, the gusset (triangle in the middle for support) is a full 1/2" thick. I was going to weld 2 gussets in but I ended up doing just one thicker one to clear the sparkplugs so you don't have to take them out.



To give you an idea, the steel for the adapter is thicker than any other steel you can find on the stand itself.



I actually tacked together a couple more incase anyone was interested?

Just so you know, that second sensor you were asking about (on the oil pan) is a heat sensor.

Colin, looking at the Oil Pump Assembly with the Front Cover off pic It looks that there Is a considerable amount of slack on your chain...maybe It's just the pic. Have you looked Into measuring It?



How far (If any) do you have left 'til your ready to rip? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

D'oh!...I see you can't edit, unless I am missing something.



You obviously know my rebuild went tits up...I have a new Oil Pump, Chain, Needle Bearings etc. I forget If I ran that by you from our last meeting. Oh, Aaron and I ported the snot of my Engine last weekend, but whatever.

Awesome man!



The slack isn't too bad on my chain.. I don't know if it's within spec.. I need a Haynes before I go any further..
