When and engine is on the stand, there's no starter ring gear for the factory flywheel lock. So I came up with this today. It's the opposite of fancy, but it worked, and the price was right. :)

Used it to size up the hole spacing. :) I still ended up doing it mostly by eye and got lucky on the first try.... :lol:

Nice. But more importantly, what's the engine doing on the stand?
