Engine Lift Plates? Reply #16 – December 03, 2008, 08:19:31 PM The figures I posted are just theoretically what they could withstand in tension. With a parent material the same strength of the fastener, you need ~1D of thread engagement to keep the fastener from pulling out from the parent material (stripping the threads). If the parent material is half as strong as the fastener, you need ~2D engagement. 1/3 strength, ~3D - etc...If you don't properly torque the fasteners before lifting or use some kind of eye that leaves a portion of the fastener unsupported, you will reduce the load capacity.
