You can never have too many tools in your life, except the two legged variety

I'm never wrong, once I thought I was but I was
mistaken.

Gavin, I like your selection of the trolley and I'm sure it will let you move your engine around the garage or work-shop easily. However, you may have to leave your motor hanging around for some time.... If you have, I found it easier to store on a bench, hence, I remove the sump/oil-pan and the oil-pump so that the engine sits flat and easy to store.

I usually find a flat soft plate to sit the engine on, such as a cork place mat .. That seals out the dust and has a minimum foot print.
