Engine bar bolts

[K@rlos]

I'm gonna get some high tensile bolts to mount my new motor, but I forgot to bring the old bolts home with me and will be a week before I go back to the workshop :roll: what size & length are the bolts that mount the bar to the case please.

2x M10 x 75mm, and 1x M8 x 75mm.
I think...

I can't be sure on the length as you have to be careful you don't bottom them out in the case, but they're around 75/80mm.
You can always trim them off a bit.

Hi K@rl,

You'd better put some studs on your case so you know your bar is securely tightened on all case holes length.

Take a look on my 2165 case, with those 12.9 M10 and M8 studs tightened in the case, no more stripped threads. You can use spacers between case and bar in case of big oil pump and full flow cover and your studs are always full length torqued in your case.

That seems like a good idea. Why don't more people do this?

That is a brilliant idea! Thanks Vince
