[TR] Engine stand

[Bob Nogueira <nogera@hotmail.com>]

Iâ??m about to rebuild my TR 4 engine. Iâ??ve done it three times in the past 
so thereâ??s not much Iâ??m worried about. The one thing that freaks me out is 
suspending the engine on the engine stand by four 5/16 inch bolts. Every time I 
see it sitting there I freak out that the bolts are going to snap and the 
engine is going to come crashing down.
    Two things Iâ??ve done to relieve my paranoia is add a cross beam on the 
front so it has four wheels not the original three and keep a two by four 
between the front of the engine and the leg to carry the weight of the 
suspended engine.
      Two questions, am I being paranoid and should I use grade 5 or grade 8 
bolts to fasten the engine to the stand?

Thanks for any advise.
