Getting ready to lower engine

[Pdwight]

I have a railroad crosstie ( you can buy them most anywhere) cut into 4 pieces....I put these under the car in case the jack stand were to fail....the wood would stop the car....I would probably get hurt if it fail.....but the car would go no further. I also have a large piece of Tygon Hose cut in half and on the top of each jack stand to have some bite and not mar the bottom of the car. Redundancy in your friend here
