    m62 bolt question, please help!!!

    Does anyone know what the thread size is for the bolts that mount the transmission to the back of the motor. I recently tried putting my m62 onto an engine stand with what i thought were the correct bolts (getrag 260 bolts) because they were threading perfectly fine, ended up cross threading 2 holes. Is there anyone who can help me find the right bolts so that I can retap and get my swap started?

    Although RealOEM doesn't specify thread pitch, I'd bet they are 1.5's...

    2 M8's at the top, P/N 23 00 1 222 887
    8 M10's around the rest P/N 23 00 1 222 888
    2 M10's on driver's side starter blank P/N 12 41 1 434 052

    Sounds to me like you didn't start them square... taps should be available for them pretty much anywhere...
