I'm looking for an engine stand that I can use for various engines. I particularly would want it to be really good for the 300TDi but not limited to that. Anybody any experience of any decent ones under a hundred pounds?
I have a clarke one I dont use anymore if that's any use to you

This wasn't a wanted advert as such but if the Clarke one is up to the task which model is it and how much do you want for it?
I have one of these:

It worked brilliantly with my 300tdi and I had no problems with the engine being sat on it for several weeks. The only problem I found was that the paint scratched off quite easily, but I suppose that's to be expected.
To be honest, I'm not sure that the smaller 500a would be up to the job.
I've found this one which is VERY cheap.... 450Kg seems enough.
Heavy Duty 450kg Engine/Gearbox Stand
Just make sure that it goes wide enough for the 300 tdi block, mine didn't

personally i prefer to build engines on a low bench or a few pallets and ply
