Turned on the floor heat, the infrared heat gun showed the lines within an inch of where I thought they'd be. Managed to drill the holes without any geysers so guess the measurements were right.
I used a two part concrete adhesive on the anchors, it came in a divided caulking tube, with a long nozzle that mixed the two parts as it came out. The material was fairly viscus, when I tried to tighten up the anchors they began pulling out of the concrete, The holes were tight, had to tap the anchors in and the epoxy came up around them. Im thinking (hoping) the material was lubricating the anchors so that they couldn't grab. Will try torquing them in the morning after the epoxy has set. Guess if they continue to jack out I'll have to try a different anchor. Has anyone ever used epoxy on concrete anchors? The lift supplier recommended it and said their installers use it or a similar product.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
