When mounting the engine to the stand,don't try to center the stand pivot point to crank center point.Inline 6's are very top heavy.Adjust the stands pivot point above the cranks center line.By doing this it lets the engine rotate easier and also gives you more room to work near the rear main journal.It might take 2-3 adjustments to get it balanced,but it sure makes it easier to rotate. hope this helps.good luck Jim
