Abstract
An engine stand having rotating features and an adapter to adjust the position of the center of gravity of a mounted engine. The adapter comprises a backing body and an adjustment body, the adjustment body having an adjustable linear displacement with respect to the backing body and a rotation axis of the engine stand. The linear displacement of the adjustment body is adjusted via a forcing screw.
