Noticeable shaking in the engine stand

When installing the "brain" part in the stand itself, the engine shakes a lot. A safety pin is inserted into the hole to prevent the motor from turning by itself. But the pen itself cannot prevent the stand from rocking. I think I may have to weld some nuts on the side and use large bolts to tighten the stand to prevent wobble. The stand was shipped disassembled as it is easier to ship the item that way. The instructions were ok, not the best but you can figure out how to assemble this item just by looking at the pictures. One of the legs is a little wobbly because there is a screw that goes through several parts. to secure the assembly. I am considering welding the legs to prevent this wobbling. One came about because of the low price and first class shipping to Hawaii. The cheapest local motor mount is around $100. This one costs $52, easy for me to buy and maintain. The first one I bought is a 2003 Maxima VQ35DE engine. I also need to disassemble a 2005 Maxima VQ35DE engine. The bad thing about this motor mount is the 750 lb load limit. I would not dare to put a 4.0 liter engine and more. 3.5L (aluminum block with aluminum heads) seems too heavy for this stand.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Almost everything ok
