RE: Engine mounting on engine stand

You can get grade 8 bolts at any parts store that has doormand drawers. I would recommend that the engine be lower in the stand. It makes it easier to flip it over to work on the bottom end. To clean up your drive way start with some speedy dry from the parts store.

RE: Engine mounting on engine stand

Usualy you can tell the bolt grade by the markings on the head of the bolt (six marks = grade 8). Metrics use adifferent marking system than the SAE type markings. For the SAE bolts, here's a chart to help you identify the grade of the bolt.
