Title: What do you use to pre-run your motors....Share pix of your engine stands... Post by: rick m on April 18, 2010, 04:14:01 am I recently decided to give my old BUG-O-RAMA engine blow stand a facelift. New gauges, wiring, plumbing, cooler, and a general update. It is great to have something to pre-run motors, break in the cam and tune the carbs before stuffing the motor in the car.

Rick M Have run engines up sitting on the floor before now, just bolted up to an empty tranny casing. Fun watching an IDA-equipped 1835 'walk' across the garage floor! :D Title: Re: What do you use to pre-run your motors....Share pix of your engine stands...

Post by: rick m on April 18, 2010, 19:14:51 pm Keith....it was pretty funny....Appropriate though. My test used to be cam warm up then a nice cruise putting different loads on the motor. Then, come home and let it cool off...adjust the valves and then leave for a road trip. :-)
