I haven't done much to my car lately due to waiting on some parts to come in from Lamborghini. I decided to tear into the heads and replace the valve seals and also the head gaskets (recommendation of G. Evans..thank you very much!). I went to harbor frieght tools and bought a cheap engine stand ($35 bucks). I got two of them and started to cut them up and weld the cut pieces so I could make my own stand. The stand is adjustable and very sturdy! Not bad for under $100.

Here's a few pics. This will make working on the engine a lot nicer and safer.
