I highly recommend mounting the Healey engine on an engine stand by using the
four bolt holes on the left side (driver's side) of the engine. I found the
bolt hole spacing on the mounting plate of an "over the counter" engine stand
must be modified to fit the spacing on the Healey engine. I have also found
grade five bolts work fine, or one may use the original bolts. Rotating the
engine may require a "cheater bar" on the engine stand and a second set of
hands (usually) is required to insert the locking pin. The thing I like the
most about this set-up is I can install the rear engine plate, oil pan seals
and the oil pan before removing the engine from the engine stand.
