Does anyone happen to know what size the bolts are for the starter on an LS1?

Thanks!

Both bolts are 11mm in diameter, 1.5 thread pitch. 1 bolt measures 114mm long and the other is 54mm long, grade 10.9.

11mm X 1.5 X 114mm
11mm X 1.5 X 54mm

Gm lists the starter bolts as M10 x 1.5

M10x1.5x46.5
M10x1.5x120

Some applications actually use two of the long bolts, which is starter dependent ofcourse

Sorry to the OP I threaded a die on my bolts this morning and thought I grabbed the 11mm x 1.5. I just rechecked after his post ^^^ and my bolts are M10 X 1.5 as well.

This needs to be deleted or edited from the thread. I just purchased a helicoil kit for m11 x 1.5 because of it.

I took a caliper to the threads, they are indeed M10, not M11
