Take the picture sideways:cool-smiley-027:

The link I put in this thread explains the technical side and offers a possible solution.

5,850 rpm - same props?

Well- looks like this issue is due to the fact I use an iPhone and Mac. It looks as long as I take the picture with out rotating it should load correctly. Thanks for the post.

If I see that I would be EXTREMLY happy...

lookin good tim.i lift engines with the same lift plates but not with the extra weight of the trans,4 5/16 grade 5 bolts seems a little lite for my liking.looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.:signs069:

Yea, I hear that, first time I used them, I tried to find a way to add a "safety strap" but there was no good way with using the gantry, I wondered about bolts too but my buddy said 4 of them fully threaded and tight would be fine, similar to the 2 3/8 bolts one on each side into head, these plates made it so much easier, hoping I don't have to worry about doing this anytime soon again LOL

Thx I will post results when I get them..

Grade 5-5/16 bolt good for 6400lb tension strength Grade 8- 5/16 8000lb.

I had someone lift the complete engines with straps wrapped under the primary pipes of the headers. I wasn't thrilled with that but was told he did it all the time.
