1J on engine stand/bolts

[MK3.0dudeman]

Sorry for posting this thread but I have been going crazy trying to find bolts to hold my 1J on to my engine stand.I tryed to use the stock trans bolts but there way to short and any hardware or auto store I go to only has standered cores bolts.What did you guys use?

The only other thing I could think of is buy a new stand with shorter ends to slide the bolts in.

p.s.If anybody has any I could buy off them pm me

Thanks guys and sorry for the dumb thread

go to lowes, ace, home depot. Thats where i got my bolts the times i put the engine on the stand.

or come by the garage and look through my box of bolts.

Yea I just went to lowes and used regular grade 8 bolts from the drawers. I've had my 2jz on the stand for over a year now with me moving it around the garage and they are holding up fine.

7m headbolts, or for extended motor stand use, use arp headstuds or bolts if you have them laying around

Hell no I will not use home depot bolts.They will mess up the threads on the block.I already checked.

anybody have any head bolts laying around?

Don't think for a second a 1J uses M12x1.25 hardware to attach the bellhousing to the block so 7M head bolts aren't going to work?.....

I use headbolts from a 22r.

What size heads do the stock Jz bellhousing bolts have??
(not saying you're wrong just shocked that they went to M12)

Don't know off the top of my head, but my friend told me about it cause he used them on a 2jz.

And TooGoode agrees with me, from my build thread, pic was the one pictured above.

7m arp headbolts are the one usefull thing from a 7m. they make great engine stand bolts! i use them all the time! they work well for 1mz's and 3vz's as well!

And on my friend James' (*james* is his name on here if you care to know) we used stock headbolts.

Good info thanks Nick (I like to learn new things)

So it looks like 7M head bolts it is

home depot bolts aren't gonig to mess anything up if you get the following

Correct grade
Correct thread & pitch.

Search harder or use the 7M head bolts as previously stated. My 1J was sitting on a stand for longer then a yr with me flipping it upside down and my 2j the same as you know already so its not going to be a big deal if you get the correct bolts. Incorrect bolts you buy will mess up threads.

I worked for the vendor that supplies HD with their bolts for 3 years... I wouldn't recommend them personally, unless you're getting the grade 8 bolts, but they don't sell any hardened metric bolts there. Let's just say that a pair of snips is all it takes to snap their lesser bolts, I would NOT trust their metric selection.

I've always used HD bolts with correct size and no issue, but to each is own

I went to napa withthe tanny bolts and they gave me longer ones. Nice strong bolts!! Proper threading. GL!!

We'll I checked out home depot in Bloomfilde and in Clifton and none of them even had fine threaded so either you jamed the wrong thing in there or you found them at hd and got lucky.Steve was with me running around for em and we didn't find shit

Nope didn't Jam anything in there or else my trans would of never bolted. I got mine from Lowes, i figured all the hardware stores would have em, guess not. I also went to a few parts stores around Montclair they had them but already had gotten some from lowes.
