Message	Make sure you get a heavy duty engine stand, not the super-cheapie. The smaller one will hold the weight, but its not as sturdy. Also, it helps to grab the engine itself, and take some of the weight off the pivot of the stand as you turn it. [You'll have a really hard time if you try to just rotate the bar in back]
