Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

I am following your other thread with the engine updates but its been a while. What bolts did you use for your engine on the engine stand? I tried some 10x1.5mm, 4" long because thats what I found when I researched but they seem to be about an inch too long?

thanks and such a killer build. Great attention to detail.

Sorry so late on the response. That seems about right to me. It all depends on how your stand was built, I suppose.
