Maybe I should have got a 4-wheel engine stand. Remember falling off a trike as a kid? Why Honda soon dropped their off-road trike "neck snapper". I was trying to unscrew the crank bolt and the jam rod I put on the rear popped off and engine sprung back. I move quick.
Didn't hurt the engine. Taking a break from my Mopars to fix my 85 Mercedes that has been in the garage for 3 yrs since the engine failed. I did buy an 84 for $400 to swap the engine, but ended up fixing the car (a son drives it). I got this engine for $300. New Mercedes pistons cost $550 each.
