Default FAO anyone that has had a yb on a stand
what holes did you use to bolt your yb to an engine stand.

im doing mine tomorrow and was going to use the two threaded holes up near the head and the lowest two (the ones with the dowels). i am just a bit concerned about the strenght of the casting because the position of the holes is not ideal and the engine is fully loaded with turbo etc.

any info would be a great help ... thanks

I used 4 of the gearbox holes, 2 with the dowels and 2 of the blind holes I think. I didnt have any problems
