when you look at the bulkhead of the engine stand, the slanted slots are on the top and the horizontal slots are on the bottom.
you NEED to use all 4 to hold a full 7MGTE. a bare block is ok on 3 "arms", but not 600 lbs of 7M fury.
and, i dont know why anyone would be weirded out by working on an engine on a stand... im more releived and satisfied.
