M10, 1.25 thread. I would go for the strongest ones you could find, I found some super duty ones that were coated black, a 8.8 grade, I forget which scale that was on, but it was the strongest ones this fastener store had. Something like a 12.9 on the other scale. All the rest were not coated the way these were. Get long ones too, so you have enough thread to go as far as you can, then use washers to take up the slack, you don't want that engine cracking the studs, and then cracking your garage floor ahahaa. I did manage to still bend these trying to get the crank bolt off, it's a long story, so I won't tell, but they have been holding my engine on the stand for over 6 months straight now, no incidents (knock on wood) and It's been -25 or more so far, being in Ontario canada, so the cold doesn't bother them either.
