Bolts to put engine on stand? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Kougeki · 03-17-2010, 03:45 PM

I have a KA24DE, and I use to have the bolts to hold the engine up, but now
I lost them. I just need 4, obviously. I got some, but they are too big and don't even thread in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got 10X1.50 and some 10X1.75.

Thanks.

got to hardware stores like ACE, do some matchings. It is really self-explanatory.

that is how i did mine when i lost some of those bolts

remember to get grade 8 or above!

Just take the stock bolts to napa have them matched up and buy them in the lenght you need and get the strongest ones you can for good measure, thats what I did.

Thing is that I have a KA in my car already. I don't have the stock bolts. I would have to remove them, and right now... this heat in SoCal isn't helping.
Thanks guys

What about removing one of the starter bolts and use that as reference.

The threwad pitch is 1.5 and u need 2 to be about 110mm long depending on engine stand and another 2 of 70mm long I'm sure this will work for u

Ok, the pitch is 1.50 then. The bolts i got are too thick. I'll try the starter bolt.
