Dale,
That there engine was indeed a "high end build" Navarro high dome head/piston combination, Big valves, Big crank, extensive port work, you get the idea. Absolutely no wrenching turning it over with it on that stand. He bolted it on the stand, went indoors for something, came back out, engine on the floor with the bolt holes in the bell pulled out and still bolted to the stand.
Damn thing had only been hung on the stand for a short time. As I said, no wrenching on it whilst hung, except pulling the pan.'
