I've done quite a bit of work out in the shop over the past few months, but I have not been at all good about documenting it. So I will attempt to get all caught up over the next couple days.
When I broke in the 2110, I did it with the engine installed in the car. With all the heat, the paint on the rear apron blistered and I had to repaint it. This time around, I decided to build an engine run stand. This is an old Harbor Freight stand and I mounted a cut off Beetle bell housing to the original yoke with a couple large chunks of angle iron. Then I built a couple of support arms to keep the motor from twisting or bouncing. I also built a control panel out of an old aluminum cast box I picked up from work. It has a tachometer, oil pressure, oil temperature and ignition switch as well as some warning lights.
