I know that I need a 12/1.25 bolt, but what length? I'm thinking about 6" (150/160mm) so that it can fit through the tube for the engine stand and still thread into the block as well.

Am I missing something, is there another way I should be getting this motor on this stand?

im having the same problem except i need to bolt a b16 onto my engine stand. but actually a couple of people have said to use your transmission bolts, as they should fit perfectly, i just cant seem to find any. any other opinions?

 

Just swung by a specialty hardware store and got 4 12/1.25 x 120mm bolts... $21.20.

But, at least I'll have them now.

I ordered 12mmX1.25 threaded rod from McMastercarr and cut it to length.

 

Let me ask you a question then. Don't you need the bolt head to be snugged up against the "arms" of the engine stand?

I'm asking this becaue the bolts I got are about 3/4" too long and I'm concerned that they may fail or bend due to the amount of stress on them.

i used front crossmember bolts from a crx for my k20 on the stand

If you use threaded rod, you can lightly screw them into the block until they bottom out. Then use a nut and washer on the other side of the engine stand bracket. That's as good as it gets because you are catching <U>all</U> of the threads in the block.

Damn...thinking ownz me.

Is the below what you got (basically)?

Part Number: 95245A110 $27.89 Each
ASTM Specification ASTM A193
Material Type Steel
Finish Plain
Grade/Class Grade B7
Type Fully Threaded Rods and Studs
Steel Type General Purpose Steel
Thread Direction Right Hand Thread
System of Measurement Metric
Thread Size M12
Metric Thread Pitch 1.25 mm
Overall Length 300 mm
Specifications Met American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
Rockwell Hardness C24

I think I'll get 2 300mm and cut them in half. But damn, over $50 for these things.

I think I found a solution to my problem I just added a nice stack of washers to fill the gap on the stand side and the motor is finally sitting correctly. It's a little cheaper than buying all new bolts/rod.
