Thread size to lift motor, m12 1.5?
I'm finishing up my motor mounts today and so far so good. I was able to remove all my mount bolts with a standard socket wrench. The trick is to have a 12 year old girl out her hands down there.
Next step is to lift the motor and I read the lug nuts fit, but they're too big. I'm using the two holes on the s/c, is that incorrect?
I'm guessing the bolts are m12 1.5, can anyone confirm?
Thanks!

Damn thats a serious rig haha
I had access to a cherry picker and ended up buying 6 different bolts to test. M12 1.5 ended up being the right size.
3 hours to do the motor mounts with a few minor issues along the way.

I'll be doing the valve covers soon. Any tips or pretty straight forward?
I'm not sure about headers; the car is fast enough for my needs and that install looks like a pita. If I ever come across a good deal I may.
My left mount was torn in two pieces and my right mount was on its way to collapsed. My transmission mount looked brand new. I'll be doing the oil cooler lines tomorrow; I look a peek inside today and the bumper doesn't need to be removed so I'm happy about that!

I had to disconnect the fuel line to the fuel rail to do the driver side valve cover, you can see it in the pic, it is connected so it wouldn't keep dripping
. My kleeman weld in headers cost a G and I didn't break any studs and some were stuck in the block and just the nuts came off
. No biggie I just used new brass nuts that came with the Kleemans, I did full 3inch custom exhaust
looking back I would probably just tie in to the stock system to cut down time and to have the secondaries so car wasn't so stinky
(wife said it stinks). that being said get headers it should be one of the first mods I think, lots of gain up top, improved sound, and the stock headers choke the the car BADLY. I may throw high flow cats to shut the old lady up
Good luck
