    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am trying to figure out what size and thread etc the sc bolts are.
have a friend who has access to all kindsa bolts and money is tight.

original appearance is not really something I'm to worried about, especially not inside the engine..
 
It's not the look of the bolt that's important. Those are hardened bolts and must be able to take the torque. The size is m8x16mm standard pitch.
 
8mm x 1.25 pitch 16mm long, get grade 12.9, use red locktite, minimum! Torque 16-18 ft lbs. clean bolts and threads in clutch so there is absolutely no oil on them prior to locktite application

only socket head Allen bolts work, no alternatives available!

I paid $6 for the 3 from Suzuki. Like what's been said, red loctite on clean threads. I torqued them to spec +.
 
Believe it or not, most real hardware stores (Ace, DoItBest, etc.) will have these on the shelf -- grade 12.9, 8mmX1.25 thread, 16mm thread length.

Home stores (Meanards, bLowes, Home Despot) are not hardware stores, and usually have very little metric hardware.

The grade 12.9 and the red Loctite with proper torque are VERY important in this application.
