The bolts that fasten the engine to the stand might not be the issue.  The =
single bolt that attaches the square tube member which has the stationary w=
heels to the vertical member is more of a concern.  So far, so good, in my =
garage.

Smilie face,

 The one thing that freaks me out is suspending the engine on the engine st=
and 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 d=
own.

 the suspended engine.
