I have two spare 1.6's that I wish to rebuild work on.

Is it necessary to get an engine stand to rebuild them?
If so what should I look for, brand name or just weight capacity?
How much does a 1.6 deisel engine weigh anyway?
What are some good sources online for  shop tools?
How about VW-specific tools (like timing and compression tools)?
