So I managed to snag a PDE version SIR H23a from HMO the other day and its on it way! Its still a few weeks out though, but in the mean time I went out and bought me a engine stand.

I dont have any bolts, I sold them with the last trans...Dumb I know...

The T2W4 I bought didnt come with any, and I know the long block wont either...

So Im just going to go buy some grade-A bolts. I dont know what the OEM lengths are, and cant seem to find them anywhere online. I know 3 screw in and one needs a nut, they are 12MX1.25 / 12mm bolt with 17mm head and 1.25 thread gap.

But the actual length of the bolts themselves I have no idea?

Also I want a designated set for the stand too, the brackets are 1.95" inches exactly on all four posts opening to opening. So would I want longer, or do OEM length bolts have enough threads in the block to hold secure it for a extended period of time "month or so" in the stand?



Nothing special but I just finished putting together.

Well I can give you approx measurements from a '97 SH H22 that is on my stand currently. It looks like two of them are about 85mm (max), one 80mm (max), and the long one with the nut is about 115mm (min). Mine are a little longer and I put some washers on the head end.

Thanks! I wonder if they are the same? At least now I have some ball park figures to work off of.

Would anyone know the part number for the bolts?

I think next time I go to the wrecking yard im going to spend some time just collecting some bolts... You can see my OEM bolt collection on the floor, only fills the white bucket up about maybe 1/4 of the way.
