Re: engine stand people (B_zurC)
If you are just putting the block on a stand, why not just use the longest tranny bolts? That is what I did. Originally I went to a Honda dealer and a service tech gave me the dia. and tpi while I was standing there, but I still could not locate bolts at any hardware store or auto parts. I ended up going to a local Honda specific junkyard and they just gave me 4 long tranny bolts.

It depends on the size of the bolt- I think the M12s are 1.25 and the M14s are 1.5.
I had this problem because I bought the motor and tranny seperate and got no bolts. Pep Boys has high quality bolts that are the right size. The Home Depot and Lowes nearby didn't have anything.

Re: engine stand people (89SivicHatch)
i went to every fricken fastener shop in the fricken bay area. still no luck. finally i went to this new shop in my area called "Import Options". (cough cough ricer store[aerogear sponsored]*) and the owner hooked me up with the proper bolts.
FYI: the bolts are extra fine 7/16's. well thats what the fastener places told me.

Unless Helm's is pulling a fast one, Honda does NOT use inches in any fastener.
If they work...unless they work REALLY well I would get the correct metric bolts.
