The head is still whimpy and I would add some additional web bracing to the back of the block and support under the front (wood block). I don't know who rates this stuff, but its like the 2 ton floor jack that folds like a cheap suit, when used. You get what
you pay for, but in this case, safety is more important. If that block drops onto your foot when you roll it; forget your engine and your foot. Hank (healeyhelper.com)<br>
