yes, this is what I meant. Plus, if you look at the angle right at the joint, it's not 90, it looks like it would point down even without weight on it. Please be careful, something really doesn't look right there. My engine stand looks pretty similar in construction, and with my 617 on it (also no lightweight), the stand bent just enough to make it level
