How are engines mounted to engine stands?

Generally an engine will be mounted to the stand at the flywheel end, using four of the holes that the transmission attaches to. You’ll want to make sure you’ve got suitable bolts before you start – often the transmission bolts will be too short to fit through the arms of the engine stand.

Can you break in an engine on a stand?

A run-stand allows you to break-in and test the engine without ever having to set it in the car. If something breaks, the repair process is much simpler. Other uses for a run stand include tuning, parts testing and even secure engine storage.

How are engines tested?

Engineers link the engine with an electric engine brake and connect it to the required measurement devices, fuel supply and cooling water supply. The engine test is an automated operation controlled by an automatic system. Another area of expertise for the Engine Centre engineers is gearbox development and testing.

Why is my car running lean?

Your engine runs lean if your air-to-fuel mixture is too light – this means that the fuel in your ignition chamber is being igniting with too much air or too little fuel. Because your engine is running on less fuel than it should, it is running “lean.”

An engine that’s designed to use a stoichiometric mixture will make less power when fed a lean mixture compared to its figure from when it was running a stoichiometric or rich mixture. An engine running lean can also lead to a ‘soft seize’.
