I'm assuming you fixed your problem with the engine hoist leaking down on you? What was the solution on that?  Inquiring minds want to know.  

The procedure will be to turn the valve screw counterclockwise just enough to slowly lower it to the floor.  

I haven't fixed that problem yet but it appears that if I tighten the valve screw abnormally tight it seems to not leak down. I never used to have to do that so I suspect the cheap seal that was used is about ready to give up the ghost.

I attempted to lift the lathe and stand and it was tilting too much towards the back so I took the splash guard off but that didn't help much so I'm going to have to remove the motor. It's a minor pain in the butt to remove so I'm calling it a day and will get it off tomorrow.
