Where's the center of gravity (centroid axis) for complete engine assembly? Would like to facilitate rotation on engine stand by hand.

I aim for 1/2 way between crank and cam center line.

I've got the typical 4 arm mounting and they interfere with each other with the plate in that location. My math tells me 3 mounting points - the top center and the two lowest - is fine. Anybody done that?
