What does the pivot shaft wrench actually adjust? I've seen some posts in R6 and R1 forums that show it like this:

Is this like an adjustable sleeve that goes around the engine bolt, to space the engine from the frame? So without it there is just less wiggle room for dropping the engine down?
I've got a scissor lift i'm planning on using to lower the engine out on - so i can slowly lower it straight down. Any other tips or suggestions you'd have? This is my first time doing an engine removal on any bike (my bike is an oil burner so I'm buying an engine from a crashed bike - first step is to remove it from that bike)
Good tip, thanks - I guess these would likely be selected for the frame, since the frame would have more dimensional variance than the engine assembly? Which I guess means i will need to preserve the configuration from the bike i'm swapping the new engine into?
