The welds and finish on these are spectacular. There is maybe 1/10th a MM clearance between the castor support bracket and the nut skirt, but 16 installed and all fit perfectly. This is quality engineering. I have a numbers matching LQ4 that runs great, but just hit 100,000 miles. I am pulling the engine and installing a decent rebuild, then do a really good rebuild on the original and put it back. This is a great way to keep that extra engine I will have. I am very happy with this product. It is very strong and looks amazing. They included 2 extra castors. I thought at first it was 2 more non-swivel, so you could have all 4 fixed, but its actually one fixed, one swivel. It does not say anywhere the reason for the extras, but nice to have. I do not see these castors wearing out. Nice to see a very well made product for a change. It is so rare these days.

This is so beefy and so useful! Rotating engine stands are nice, but being able to roll it around as a complete assembly is so handy! I’m going to be using this both to store, as well as side in setup, of a custom frame I’m building. I can set the whole thing up as an assembly and easily get it dialed in. Be super cool if it was adjustable, but for what it is it’s great. I felt the price is a touch high, but it really is super well made and will last forever!
