My post was not meant to be critical, rather helpful. If anyone ever sees something in any of my pictures that has a potential danger, I hope they tell me also. Sometimes we make a mistake and dont realize it. The picture is what I rebuild my diesels on, they are not going to fall on me.
Please consider the tremendous bending moment of that B3.9 hanging on that small stand. Then we have to consider is the stand really rated for what they say. If its made off shore, then another factor comes into play.
At least, I would want a good foot on the front end of the engine, carrying weight. For sure, I would not sit there with my leg under the B3.9 like the young lady.
Just trying to be helpful. Off my soap box
Paul
