I got my engine on my new engine stand. I attached it too the stand using three bolts. As I turned the engine to get acces to the oil pan the WHOLE backing plate on the rear engine split right in the middle dropping the engine onto the oil pan below throwing oil everywhere and finally rolling too a stop!
The previous owner had used epoxy to repair a break in the plate. The epoxy was well hidden so I didn't catch it when putting it on the engine stand. My question is will a 1098 backing plate work on 1275 engine?
