What are the bolt sizes for a VQ35 where it bolts to the transmission? I think its 12mm with 1.75 pitch, but I want to make sure.

I want to put the motor on my engine stand.

Thanks!

I just went out to the garage to check for you. I still have the bolts I bought for the engine hoist when I pulled my tranny and changed my oil pan seals. I don't have the packaging with the size on them, however it looks like you're right. 12mm, but I could've sworn the pitch was 1.50. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Hopefully, someone else will weigh in here.

okay, had a hell of a time finding bolts locally, i found 12mm w/ 1.25 pitch and 12mm w/ 1.75 pitch only.

I got mine at Lowe's. I had to get a little longer than what I wanted, but I just kept the chain close to the block. It was the coarser of the two they had in stock. You're probably right about the 1.75.

yeah its M12x1.75, 90mm long for the top bolts. Bottom bolts look like m10, and are a lot longer, I used standard for these.

Question, when checking compression, do I turn clockwise or counter clockwise?
