DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW! Just gotta say, I never let red shop rags get anywhere close to my motors. Always lintfree paper towels. Red rags will cost you eventually if you use them around motors.

Even if it is strapped down tightly in a very nice enclosed trailer a couple of ill timed bumps across some RR tracks on the way to the new house will fatigue the chinese crap steel arms on the engine stand and cause some real damage.
