I never fully dress any engine on this stand, it is too weak for that much weight. Also, the stand needs to be bolted to one top and one bottom hole on 1 case half. If you use it with both bottom bolts (like in the ad picture) it will be very flexy. I have a 2X4 cut to the right length to help hold it rigid from the floor to the case just until I can get it down onto my floor jack. Mike B.
