Re: Made my own engine stand adapter.
Is it pretty well balanced for turning the engine upside down? How far above the oil pan rail is the pivot centerline?

Re: Made my own engine stand adapter.
May I ask what you do to install the oil pan? Do you remove the lower rail piece??

Re: Made my own engine stand adapter.
From experience in doing many of these engines, you are NOT going to like doing it that way. Modern gaskets do not fit that well to begin with, ...and one slipped/pinched gasket generally finds a way to hemorrhaged oil. Might I suggest you consider modifying your design so the pan and the gaskets & seal can be installed with the pan rails facing upward.

Re: Made my own engine stand adapter.
I added a reduction gear to my engine stand, sure makes turning an out-of-balance item easier.

Re: Made my own engine stand adapter.
I had the oppurnity to see a K.R.Wilson rebuild stand this summer. I came home and nuttered my engine stand. T he support rail must be on top of the oil pan rail. I also offset the mounting point on the water inlet 2 inches to the rear. Engine is rebuilt but no flywheel yet. I will report when complete.
