I wasn't planning on turning it but it would make it easier to blow out crude. Definitely won't be turning it with my head underneath. smile i bolted the head of the stand directly to the top bell housing holes and used some little extenders to catch two bottom ones. in hindsight that probably made it bottom heavy and restricted access to the upper disc style freeze plug. might have to replace that one after picking the engine with the loader again.

the cylinder sleeves look pretty clean but on most of the other surfaces and in the head water jacket there is plenty of rust scaling off the walls.
