Agreed.  Once you get it torn down to just the case, it's easy to take it off
the  stand, carry it to the bench and split the case there. Once you have  the
bearing work done, carry it back to the stand and remount it to finish  the
build.



Hi,
An engine stand works for some people, but there are a few drawbacks. The  
first has already been mentioned, but some of the others are: inability to  
install the flywheel, or pressure plate with the engine on the stand. And also  
the need for a few strong backs to lift the engine off the stand when finished  
(and while undoing the bolts holding it to the stand). 
 
Regards,
