Today I bought the metal, welded the main part. I also made paws. Tomorrow I will take the plate and pipe from the milling machine, then finish it. Later I will weld a basin for oil and dirt in general on the bottom.

"It's impossible!" - said the reason

There is a beam, and talcum rolls along it)) They broke off with the powder, painted it with free blue paint like the compressor)))

Thinking not much strengthened.
As a result, I can say that I am quite satisfied with the stand, it is doing fine, I will think what else I need))))

And I have one. Pivot points - rear hubs of nine VAZ, the center of gravity of the engine approximately on the axis of rotation, easily turns, is fixed every 45 degrees. The engine is installed on standard brackets (although for each type of engine you need to make your own mounting adapters - seen in the photo). The pallet is installed downward when cleaning-washing the engine. Allows you to start-running the assembled engine when installing the bell with a starter.

Homemade stand tilter for disassembling and assembling engines.

I made a rotator for the engine, you can install the engine with everything attached to the device, turn it and fix it in the desired position. The device is made in such a way that nothing interferes with completely disassembling the engine to the block.

Channel - 60 mm.
Channel - 50 mm.
Pipes - 36 and 28 mm.
Metal plates 8 mm - 2 pcs.
Trolley wheels.
Galvanized piece.

The homemade design is shown in the photo.

The axis of rotation of the engine is located in its geometric center.

The frame is made of a 60 mm channel, and the struts are screwed to the frame with supporting hinges at the top. The hinges are made of pipes and open on hinges.
After installing the engine with feet on the stand, the hinges are closed and fixed with nuts.

You can fix the engine in the desired position with a removable clamp, just loosen the clamp, turn the engine and clamp it.

On a pair of wheels, diagonally, I made a stopper from a curved plate, which is bolted to the frame and clamps the wheel.

A pallet made of galvanized roofing sheet is installed under the engine.

Dimensions: frame 600 x 800 mm, rack height 350 mm.

Surely every car owner has heard about engine repair stands. Below we will consider what it is, what characteristics does such a device have, and, of course, is a home-made option suitable?

Of course, we all want our vehicle to serve us for a long time and at the same time to be in excellent working order all the time. However, this only happens in fairy tales, and in practice even new cars taken from brand showrooms need to be repaired within a few years. And what can we say when the owner does not spare his "iron horse"? In general, many factors contribute to the failure or incorrect operation of one of the main parts of an auto - engine.

So, let's look at the main mistakes that lead to such dire consequences. As already mentioned, incorrect operation of the vehicle is reflected in the most negative way, for example, the use of unsuitable fuel or low-quality technical fluids. Untimely oil and timing belt change, constant overload of the car will also negatively affect. Even disastrous will be the neglect of the engine's need for warming up in the cold season. And what can we say about malfunctions after mechanical impact due to an accident?

It is not so important why the unit failed, in any case, the result is the same - the need for diagnostics and further repair work. In this case, a special stand used for such purposes will be indispensable. A suspended motor is attached to it, and then it becomes much easier to diagnose, transport and repair the unit. In addition, most of these mechanisms are equipped with a special unit, thanks to which the angle of rotation of the engine can be changed in any range, which greatly facilitates the work carried out.

But, like all fixtures, such a stand also needs good care. Therefore, be sure to carry out a visual inspection to search for defects, and if there are any, then the operation should be postponed. Before each use, check whether all fasteners are securely fixed, if not, then make a constriction. And of course, keep it only in a dry and clean place, remove all debris after each use, and lubricate all moving parts regularly. Only with proper operation, the stand, even a homemade one, will serve for a long time, reliably and will pay off if you are going to become a minder.

So, working with such stands is quite simple, but do not forget about safety precautions. At this point, we will pay attention to how to properly operate such devices. It is strictly forbidden to exceed the permissible tonnage, otherwise the structure may not withstand overloads, and the engine will fall... The consequences of such a situation can be very different, and the least is damage to expensive equipment. In addition, pay enough attention to the choice of the surface on which this object will be located, it must be flat and, of course, capable of withstanding significant loads. Image - A stand for repairing a vaz engine with your own hands

The next criterion is the installation of the load. Before repairing the engine, it is necessary to securely fix it strictly in the center, while acting with extreme caution and accuracy. Remember, even your life can depend on the reliability of the fastening. And, of course, if you purchased such a stand in a store, then you do not need to make any adjustments to its design, trust the professional developers.

We figured out the purpose, care and operation of this device, and, as you can see, it is an indispensable attribute especially for beginners and professional minders. But he has one rather serious drawback - it is high cost, so not everyone will be able to immediately give a tidy sum. And if, in addition, you are not confident in your abilities and then abandon self-repair, then as a result, there is a high probability of being the loser. So let's look at how to design a homemade stand used to repair engines.So, if you are going to make a living with this, and not just maintain only your car, then you should make the stand universal. After all, for example, for the engine of domestic cars VAZ ordinary flange fasteners to the rear are enough, but the engine from Bmw so you can't fix it. Therefore, it is necessary to weld a pair of channels with ten-millimeter holes with a pitch of 50 mm to the rotating plate, and the latter should be located in the area of the motor mountings. But in order for the part to rotate quite easily around its own axis, its center of gravity must be strictly opposite the axis of rotation of the aforementioned plate. Image - A stand for repairing a vaz engine with your own hands

Thanks to the holes on the channels, it becomes possible to mount motors of various sizes through adapter brackets.

The use of a manual hoist, which moves on beams, makes it possible not to construct a lifting mechanism above the stand, it is enough just to install it on the wheels, of course, they must be quite powerful. So it will be possible to simply roll the defective part to any place, and if this unit is not used, then it is also very easy to remove it to the far corner.

Quite often, repair work also involves flushing the engine, and keep in mind that this unit accumulates an incredible amount of dirt, and, naturally, in order not to deliver it across the garage floor, a pallet should be placed at the bottom of the stand. In this case, a fine mesh should be put on top of it, because the strong pressure of the jet can knock some small part off the engine and it will be much easier to detect it on the mesh than at the bottom of the pallet. In addition, you can put the elements of the disassembled unit on it and rinse them.

So I decided to make a simple stand for repairing an engine with my own hands: blueprints, photo and description of the device are attached.

The stand was made from a profile pipe 70 x 70 mm (wall thickness 3 mm), it took about 3 meters.

I cut the blanks, so that the structure turned out to be collapsible, I made a bracket from a 4 mm corner and reinforced it with kerchiefs.

I made 3 holes in the profile with a grinder, and inserted bushings from the piston pins from the VAZ engine and welded.

From a piece of metal 6 mm thick I made a bracket for a VAZ engine, for another engine you need to make your own bracket.

Then I welded a piece of pipe to the stand, drilled 4 holes for fixing, at an angle of 90 degrees in the swivel pipe, and one on the stationary one, and 2 holes for the handle.

The stand has successfully passed the tests.

From the profile I welded the legs, primed the structure.

        Fastened to the gearbox bell mounting holes. So as not to interfere with the flywheel, there are spacer tubes.
        
        Square plate - a piece of channel 12 mm thick, racks for mounting the engine - a square bar 20x20. Hardened bolts from some kind of car, bought in auto parts. The grooves in the slab were first drilled at the ends, the middle was cut out with a grinder (this is faster than milling). To the lower frame, the corner is vert. the stand is attached with 4 bolts, as on the original.
        
        The design is repeatable at home without any major equipment. Welding and grinder

        yeees. this is the diagnosis. the whole base on which the video is filmed was built by me personally and for my money, completely all buildings, fences, asphalt, everything was made from scratch by me personally. I created 11 jobs on this base and pay salaries to people.
        
        Guys, how much does such a stand cost? Million?!))
        
        What does a “zagigulina” hold out of a channel that does not have a support, adds weight to the dvigun, or what would it take when laying the crankshaft?
        
        if you watch the video carefully, then there is a plot with specific numbers and calculations of all costs.

        Aaaa epta, I didn't see it right away, the Ukrainians are fucking, everything is clear, then the claims are removed.
        
        And you shut up. All of Ukraine is a part of Russia, since all of its territory was conquered by the Russians, all the cities were built by the Russians. The Ukrainians are residents of the far west of Ukraine, in respect of which the Polish nobles had the right of the first wedding night.

        Good day, dear motorists! Are you seriously starting to repair the engine yourself? This is necessary, especially since more than 50% of repair work on the engine is quite realistic and affordable to perform independently.
        
        Today there is no longer a problem in finding and "getting" spare parts, parts or repair kits for one or another engine unit. Tools and equipment for repairing engines in any quantity, of any standard size and quality. There are instructions and manuals for the repair of a particular engine unit of any model on the Web.
        
        And the benefits are obvious. Not only will you save money, but with attention and careful approach to business, you get a 100% guarantee that the operation was performed correctly. After all, do-it-yourself engine repair means: for yourself and with high quality.
        
        Naturally, some technological operations will require special equipment for engine repair. And as long as you are not going to open a service station in your garage, then there is no need to buy it. In every, more or less normal car service, you will find everything you need.
        
        Here we will try to list more fully the tools and equipment for engine repair, which, in principle, should be in the garage of any car owner.That is, a tool for everyday use.
        
        You must learn the first rule of the auto mechanic - do not rush to disassemble the engine until you have carried out its diagnostics. Engine diagnostics methods are different, and they all lead to the identification of certain malfunctions of engine components. In addition to motor testers, there is also popular diagnostics, because not every car is equipped with an "electronic brain".
        
        And measuring the compression, for example, will tell you about the state of the engine no less interesting than the readings of the motor tester. So, the tools for diagnosing and repairing the engine.
        
        The listed engine repair tool will be enough for you to dismantle or install the cylinder head, cylinder block, camshaft or crankshaft.
        
        Here the question is somewhat more complicated. In the garage, you cannot concentrate specialized equipment. And there is no particular need for this. Engine boring (honing) is the prerogative of specialists. You shouldn't take away their bread.
        
        The market offers a fairly wide range of specialized equipment for engine repair. These are honing heads and adjustable, readjustable diamond reamers, metalworking machines: turning and drilling.
        
        Equipment for the repair of gasoline and diesel engines allows you to perform such complex operations as: repair of the crankshaft bed, repair of camshaft bearings, repair of connecting rods, change the valve guides and restore the geometry of the valve seats.
        
        Modern technologies on equipment for engine repairs allow achieving repair results in terms of compliance with the geometry of parts and assemblies that meet the requirements of engine manufacturers.
        
        After processing the components with the help of specialized equipment for engine repair, you calmly in the garage, assemble with your home tools for engine repair and, again, on the road.
        
        The most important condition for the use of any tool and equipment for engine repair is compliance with safety measures during operation. Good luck with your car engine repair.
        
        For those car enthusiasts who are used to repairing their car on their own, it is in the order of things to have a sea of gadgets and homemade equipment that makes repairs easier. As a rule, complex and bulky equipment is quite expensive and pays off only if it generates income. Today we will consider the principles of construction and design of simple but necessary equipment, without which a full-fledged engine repair, if possible, is very difficult.

        In principle, it is quite easy to make a rotator for the engine with your own hands, the drawings and designs of which are posted on the page. Another thing is how useful it will be and how much the use of the garage space for its placement will be justified. Be that as it may - the equipment is very useful and functional, simple to manufacture and inexpensive in materials.
        
        The price of a branded, factory tilter slipway for passenger car engines will be at least 8 thousand rubles, and if you strain yourself and make a tilting crane with your own hands, you can save even 20-25 thousand rubles.
        
        A tilter, or stand tilter, is a device that can withstand the weight of a car engine, while the motor does not lie on the stand, but is fixed movably. Thus, in order to access, for example, the crankcase, you do not need to turn it over on the workbench, think about how to fix the cylinder block on the surface. The motor, mounted on the equipment, can rotate freely around its axis and have several fixed positions, depending on the design features. In this case, it is necessary to achieve several indicators:
        
        the device should not take up much space in the garage:
        
        the engine must be fixed firmly and rigidly;
        
        the design must allow a certain effort to be applied, while maintaining stability;
        
        the structure must be rigid;
        
        The rotator should be able to easily select the desired position of the engine, holding it securely.
        
        Of course, you can do without any tilters and disassemble the Zhiguli engine on a box or on a workbench, if there is one. But there will always be a risk that the motor will slip out and fall on your feet or on the floor, you always need to call someone for help, always uncomfortable. Some of the drawings shown on the page are designed specifically for VAZ engines, and some are universal. But they all work for their owners and facilitate engine repairs.
        
        The main thing that needs to be achieved is stability and rigidity. Not everyone graduated from a university with an A in strength and technical mechanics, so we will give some of the main points as a basis for building with our own hands or changing the dimensions that are indicated in the drawings. There are also many options for tilters that attach the engine to only one console. This causes increased stress on one rack. Such a design also has the right to exist, but subject to certain conditions.
        
        In any case, the stand will be made of profiles, no matter if it will be a square pipe, a powerful corner or an I-beam. At the junctions of two profiles, a certain mobility cannot be avoided. In this case, an ordinary triangle will come to the rescue, which is the most rigid and indestructible figure. Therefore, it is necessary to unload the B-pillar as much as possible, and this can be done only with the help of slopes, so that the maximum load falls on the support triangle.
        
        It is very important to correctly position the center of gravity and relieve the lower frame of bending loads. Here, too, several braces will have to be included in the design. The center of gravity should be located so that it is possible to rotate the engine without problems, but at the same time the entire structure retains stable stability. It is necessary to take into account both the weight of one cylinder block and its weight together with the block head, flywheel and crankshaft.
        
        The simplest solution to this issue is shown in the photo. The simplest rotator, albeit with one engine mounting point and only three additional braces, which remove the main load from most of the B-pillar. And it is already reinforced with an additional stiffener in the form of the same profile.
        
        The question remains about the stability of the entire structure, since the support area is relatively small. In this case, you can consider the option with two points of attachment of the motor to the stand. There is a double-sided engine mount, which also evenly distributes the load over the struts, and a large support area, which prevents the structure from overturning.
        
        All dimensions shown in the drawing correspond to the dimensions of the VAZ studs and landing planes, and the motor fixes the locking pin against rotation. The locking mechanism allows you to choose one of sixteen positions, which is quite enough for servicing any engine. Good luck to everyone!

        With the filing of Sasha Nomberon (nomberone469) has melted just such a thing. Engine repair has become quite a convenient and comfortable event. It is done quickly, the material consumption is minimal. Everything, together with the electrodes and bolts, cost me about 1 sput. Highly recommend

        The load on those pins is not sour, the fasteners are from the edge, and the whole engine is turned out to the side

        That's exactly what I thought. Including your first statement
        
        Well, this is if you work with engines, but if it's purely for yourself once every five years, even less often, only the place will take
        
        Sasha helped me to destroy these delusions. The engine hangs firmly and can be easily tilted in all directions. It turned out to be easier to remove the engine than the unit (box + transfer case). Now there is not a single “difficult” place left in the car. By the way, the stand is collapsible with bolts. So it will take up a little space along the wall.

        Cons - a simple user does not need a device, there is no place to simply put the car on the shelves.

        In our army, the fastening of the UAZ motors was for the bell pins, the load is more distributed there, and the rotation around the axis is uniform, the generator pins are a pity in your case, God forbid they break

        Whoever does not need to, he himself knows about it. But if you decide to do engine repairs yourself in a garage, then you have little choice. Either on the floor on boards (tires, pallets) or on a stand. It is more convenient at the stand.
        
        Mounting for bell pins is provided in universal industrial stands. Originally, I wanted to do this too. But my garage is a bit cramped, and how can I remove the bell at the same time. As for the loads, it is rather an optical and psychological deception. It just seems that the engine is so big and heavy and the studs are so small and weak. By the way, the plate is 1 cm thick. Practice has shown that the solution is quite viable.
