I did the same thing, but on the spring loaded cover you cut with a dremel, I just drilled and tapped a hole perpendicular to the collar, depressed the collar then tightened the bolt holding in out of the way.
A lathe handle with three set screws for the shaft snugged up on the 9/16 hex drive shaft perfectly.

How well does it work with an engine on it

[@1970chevelle396]

It should work good. But I haven’t tried it yet.

how to build a rotating engine stand. Step 1, buy a rotating engine stand

[@1970chevelle396]

Same procedure for turning a non rotating one into a rotating one.

[@brownh2orat211]

I have 4 engines stands, why would I buy more when I can modify the ones I have?

[@NoName-ml5yk]

Bunch of smart alecs lol

[@hectorortega9131]

A good recipe for a visit to the emergency room.

[@1970chevelle396]

Why would you go to the emergency room?

[@brownh2orat211]

I don't think they'll let you build an engine at the emergency room.
