How do the engineers simulate g-force effects on a lab engine? Do they know how much the oil centrifuges in an oil tank/crankcase at various G forces, then tilt the engine an equivalent amount?

I would think a rig that rotates the engine assembly on a centrifuge would do it, but maybe tilting does the same thing.
