Yes, but if you intend to split cases or do clutch work, you'll have to remove your flywheel first. I've got mine apart right now.......... removed all the outer stuff first to lighten and gain access before putting it on the stand. I stand corrected..... it goes on the other side . I had the other half on the stand while I was cleaning the case. The reason you want it in the other half, is because you can insert the crank ,cam, and all other parts when you are assembling the crankcase assy.

Looks to me like the wrong engine mount.

When mine is installed, the pivot point that goes into the engine stand is centered on the flywheel.
That looks like if you pull the rotation pin, the engine will flop to one side.
Probably will still work, but be careful rotating it or moving it around the garage.

I agree with Stu. And mine bolts to the other side.

I saw that, I have never used this kind of mount. I will be careful, so far it hasn't been a problem. turns easy, and it seems Stable in the stand. Thank you
