Imperial Mounting bolts
By: uncantim Date: August 7, 2025, 3:26 pm

Me again!
I have a Maxspeedingrods engine that's got imperial mounting
bolts.
Thing is, I don't know what size they are, can anybody help?
Thanks in advance

Strange, ours is metric apart from the crank bolt im sure,
picture below shows the bolts supplied with a vevor torque
converter so should be what you need, im pretty sure I have a
set if your struggling :)

A word of caution. Which bolts are you meaning? Reason is that
if it's the engine, they can be any of the following. Metric
standard, metric fine, AF. Equally the thread in the end of the
crankshaft can be any of the above. Proceed carefully as I have
an engine here that a person assumed was something that it
wasn't and nearly destroyed the crankshaft. Same engine, a
different person who thought they knew nearly destroyed the
crankcase.

Generally, 3/8 & 5/16 UNF & Metric Coarse M6 & M8 are what you
will find supplied with the VEVOR Torque Converters.
(AF is not a thread form, but a measurement of the "across the
flats" distance of the bolt head)
Hope this helps with the confusion that sometimes arises with
clone motors !

They turned out to be standard M8 bolts.
Thank you all
