I'm in the process of rebuilding my engine... Mine would be done on the floor but I built a wooden stand that brings it off the floor about a foot. Other people have done it too...

Doing mine now started monday and want to have it running by moday. First turbo but about the tenth rotary. I like the bucket idea, wish I had thought of it. I built an adapter for a regular engine stand. It has only tipped and fallen on my foot once...

Talking

I have an engine stand for the assembly/dissassembly portion. But for all the dirty work, I am either doing it on the floor or on a small old table. My garage is not the best organized place right now so I had to make due. To protect my floor, I am just using old boxes to catch any loose juices.
