Are you trying to tell us that the sump doesn't spin? I'M DEVASTATED AT THIS. D:

HAHA I know that much. But what im saying is the housing seems to share bolts on the bottom.

After undoing the bolts (I think there was 2 in there, but about 5 spots for them) on the flywheel, how does the flywheel come out? Either its seized on or Im missing a bolt or something

You don't even have a fly wheel on that engine!

Omg lol... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

Akys told me to remove the flywheel! EVERYBODY STOP f**king WITH MY BRAIN IM TRYING TO LEARN

To me it looks like the adaptor plate that you have there, the flywheel would bolt to those 7 holes.
Give us a better pic of the area

Yeah most of this sh*t ive never seen before. I do have that manual, it just never occured to me that there was no flywheel in there because Akys told me to take the flywheel out before I put it on the stand, and knowing as little as I do, I tried to oblige..

But anyway, up on the stand tomorrow

Yeah do yourself a favour, download a print the manuals. Will save on face palms

With or without the manuals (I do have them ) there will be plenty of facepalming over the duration of this attempted re-co

Day 1 facepalm count - 3

Beers for anyone who provides actual help in this thread for the bonfire. Unlike some people who are simply laughing at my inexperience sahin

Engine stand pics;

The top 2 mount points are threaded holes, the bottom/side points are not, as you can see from the pics I'm using a through bolt secured with a nut.
Use high tensile bolts of the correct length, do not use cheapy Bunnings bolts.
Use washers as I have so the bolt heads tighten up square.

Don't know and it will depend on your stand anyway, so measure em

Yeah I know, I had to angle grind the c**t off as I couldn't get that sump bolt undone ....
