Engine Overhaul Stand
Detroit Diesel

An engine overhaul stand provides a stable, accessible platform for disassembly, inspection, and reassembly during engine rebuilds. It offers solid mounting interfaces to support the block and critical rotating assemblies, maintaining proper alignment while components are removed, measured, and reinstalled. In a workshop environment, the stand enables technicians to rotate the engine for access to crankshaft, pistons, and cylinder heads without risk of tipping or misalignment, promoting safer handling and more accurate torqueing sequences. The stand's robust construction helps minimize handling damage to expensive components and simplifies the use of torque wrenches, dial gauges, and other precision instruments. VMRS 045-019-004 identifies this tool as part of the engine overhaul and testing equipment family, aligning with standard maintenance workflow from teardown to final assembly. Under category 53373, it is positioned within the engine service and overhaul tooling catalogue, designed to support Detroit Diesel engines across multiple configurations during major rebuilds. The included safety warning highlights P65 compliance considerations; practitioners should observe environmental and occupational safety guidance during operation, including the potential hazards of metal shavings and high-torque sessions. This tooling solution is essential for shops performing major year-round rebuilds or preventive overhauls, enabling repeatable outcomes and reducing downtime.
