Factory Head Bolts

I had the same issue years ago when I went looking for bolts to mount up my engine. I needed exactly as you said, 100mm long, I think they're actually 120mm, well anyhow, long story short: I had a machine shop make me some. They made 6 studs for me out of drill bit grade hardened steel for like $25 IIRC... they made 6 because they had the extra material and only charged me for 4. I've had several engines up on this one stand and zero issues.

Wow you seriously had custom bolts made for your engine stand? I cant believe its this hard for all of you to find these, im glad my local hardware store had plenty of different lengths in the same diameter and thread pitch.

Yep, sure did. Living in a small town sure does have it's down sides... lol

Where are you in ontario? I got mine at Ottawa Fasteners in Nepean, Ottawa. I walked in, bought the bolts, and put the block on the stand. Grade 12 or something. They were mighty bolts!

Another vote for Fastenall. Took a couple days to get them, I just spent those extra days cleaning parts.

Like said above depending on the type of stand you can use the factory trans bolts or the head bolts for the top tow bolts just under the head. For the bottom bolts you can simply use a smaller diameter through bolt and a nut to hold it on the stand. 5/16" grade 5 will work.

As for the 1jz/ 2jz they use 12mmx 1.25 bolts. It looks like BIC needs to put togeather a engine stand bolt kit.
