just  assembled my cheapo Harbour Freight, hope I only have to use it one
time,  engine stand. I'm sure it's obvious to everyone but me
but..........how do  you bolt the engine to the stand? I know you use bolts
and nuts but where  on the engine is the attachment point? A picture is worth
a thousand words  so http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/EngineStand.htm  Do my
arrows show  the attachment points?

This is one of those things I want to get right  as I have visions on it
falling on the  floor....oops.

Thanks

Bob,
My HF stand was built wrong. When assembled, the horizontal axis pointed  
downhill instead of uphill. I had a local shop cut off the upright and reverse  
it for me.The problem I had was when you removed the locking pin to rotate it,  
you got into an ugly situation where the 600# (XK) engine was sliding  
downhill!
