Yes, pretty much on par. When setting up the stand adapter to the motor itself loosen the arms enough that they move easily, and adjust the positioning of the adapter in relation to the engine so that the main rotating pivot is closer to the center of the motor.

Some new folks tend to position the pivot along the center line of the crankshaft which is fine, but then when they go to rotate the motor so the oil pan is up they have 75% of the weight of the motor leveraging against them. I just try to position motors in stands so the motor spins in the stand in a balanced fashion
