No stabilizing needed because CoG of object is well below hanging point (look at engine photo). When you have CoG above support, it can topple off sideways from stand (seen this lots at track). If you've ever tried to remove and install engine by placing it on top of floor-jack, you'll know how treacherous that is; hanging is so much safer and more stable. I use two loops on different beams for engine so only swinging movement is fore-aft.
You can knock gallon jug of water off table if you place it on top. But if you hang it below table, it won’t ever fall off. You can even kick it so hard that jug ruptures, but it will still be hanging and won’t fall off.
In less time than it took to write that, I was able to hang my bike’s front end (5 flips of strap ratchet handle). To lower, I lean bike towards my hip on kickstand side and unlock strap. Can also use pulley reduction system for more controlled movement.
