I guess I am just funny. This is a engine my Uncle gave me, & I put it on his stand a couple years ago. Was a really nice stand, while I do not think it was gear driven, you could turn it and stop it exactly where you wanted it.

He bought it back in the 70's or 80's. really was a nice stand, wish I had it today.

Even then with a good stand, I did not like the weight distribution of a inline 6. I bolted it on sideways  :D

I guess I am just weird. On a quality stand sideways I could spin this thing like a top and not worry about it falling.

I just never expected the modern China stand to be such junk

Brilliant! It would sure change the centre of gravity that way.
