If I mount my engine to that stand, will it turn shiny like that? :lol:

Now I MUST have it. I like that the case can be rotated about two axes. I do hope that the flywheel clears that circular opening.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

It seems to me that it would work better (when the crankshaft is horizontal) and be easier to use (better balance) if the crankshaft was more in line with the horizontal rotating piece in the engine stand.
