hey guys,

i need to find out the thread size, pitch and length etc for the bolts that bolt the gerabox to the engine on an AU 4L. i need to get slightly longer ones to put the engine onto my engine stand so i can pull the sump off and get the oil return fitting welded on :twisted:

cheers


Far out man, I would have thought you could have worked this one out...

Tried some hold head bolts? I usually use old head bolts to secure engines to stands. They seem to be the same size & pitch on more than a few engines. They are also long enough to do the job usually. ;-)

Cheers

I always keep a set of old head bolts around for this very reason.
