Engine assembly

[Quickstop [UK]]

Hey guys,

I bought an engine stand for my engine once it gets back from the machinist. I will be using it for the rebuild and paint job etc....

What bolts are people using to secure the engine to the stand? Thread / size etc?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: Engine assembly

The bolts that you will need will be SAE 3/8 X 16 threads per inch. The length will depend of how thick the mounting pads are on your particular engine stand.

3" or so - Sealey stand. I think it is a cheaper version of a US brand I know. Can't remember the name.

Thanks for the tip Mike :tup:

Re: Engine assembly

make sure and use grade 8. I used some 5's one time and they broke off in the motor at a very bad time.
