How to Build Your Own Cylinder Head Stand
|
Steve centers the shouldered 3/8-inch nut over the hole in the support/adjustment section and clamps it down. He uses a 1/4-inch piece of steel plate to center the 11/2-inch-long steel collar (1/4-inch protrudes on each side of the square tubing) and clamps it as well. Here Steve is shown tack welding the shouldered nut. Due to the heat of welding, he had to use a small round-file to get the bolt-hole that was initially drilled to line up properly. Even on the second side of the stand, where he inserted a bolt through the nut and clamped it down, the heat from welding distorted the hole enough that he had opened it up. (Bottom line-open up the 3/8-inch holes you drilled into the support beam a small amount to account for welding distortion.) View Related Article
