sjtymko G-Class Photo Host Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Canada, AB, Sherwood Park (Edmonton) Vehicle(s): 2002 G500, 2009 B200 Posts: 511 | OM617 weight I am planning to buy an engine stand. A local parts store has a 750lb one on sale. Is this enough to hold my OM617A engine?
Thanks, Steve | ||

A 5 speed Getrag will add another 80 lbs (36 kg), and an automatic is heavier than that. I think a 750lbs engine stand is cutting it close... Johan-Kr | ||
