Engine on engine stand?

Postby Chickenman » Sat Mar 17, 2007 6:04 pm

I need some bolts to chuck my Blacktop on my engine stand, basically need to know where to buy them or if anyone has some suitable ones sitting around somewhere.

Chur,

I bought my set from Blacks. Hilton Parker will also be able to supply them.

Bellhousing bolts are usually too short to use on an engine stand.
If you have a huge collection of bolts off random toyotas (like I do) then you might find some suspension bolts that are long enough and the correct thread/diameter.
Try to find a bolt that will thread into the holes in the block, work out how long they need to be and take the bolt and the measurements to a fastener shop.
Be aware that if the bolt is a bit too long and you do it up tight into the block you could crack the block when the bolt bottoms out.
Get 20 or so washers as well as insurance against this, if you need to.
Bolts plus washers might cost you $5 to $10.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

i used engine mount bolts, the large ones that run through the centre, they're the right size for 3sgtes, pretty sure the A series are the same. Were a tiny bit long on a couple so I put a slightly larger nut under them to act like washers :D

Damn you Wazza :(

Anyway, we've decided that if you want to mount a Blacktop on an engine stand you need 12 x 1.25.

That's $10 less education Mitchell will get, you bastard :o
