Silly Engine Lift Plate Question

I use them all the time. The max tensile strength on a grade 8 5/16"-18 bolt is 7850lb times the stress area in in^2 is 7850*0.0524= 411.34 lbs.
Approximate a 800lb motor /4 = 200lbs per bolt. You are only at half of the allowable load on each bolt and honestly, most motors are less than 600lb.
I ain't skeert, even with aluminum manifolds... :poke:
And, when bolts are used in a clamping load situation the breakaway strength is much higher!
