Alexis: what size engine have you got? always use grade 8 bolts on a stand.

I dont use grade 8 now,i got 2 big blocks on stands right now that have been on there for atleast 6 months,they lean,but as long as you use a correct length bolt and not to use 20 washers,then the bolt wont be too stressed and snap,grade 8 is actually more brittle in some instances and snap,alot of the tractor guys and farm workers around here actually use grade 5 theyd rather have the bolt shear of than break the part.
