I would say no also...
One would have to try it first of course, but of the top of my head I think nylon screws would stretch to much to securely mount an engine...
Like Zagnut said, it could work for smaller engines... but for the larger sizes... I dunno...
Also, I don't no what a #6 screw is (we define screws by the size of the screw), but I'm thinking that the holes in the engine mounting lugs are too small for a nylon screw with sufficient strength.
On some engines I have a hard time keeping the engine tight on the nylon mount with steel bolts... let alone using nylon screws as well...
But give it a try, and let us know what you come up with.
Ah, yes... the Metric system - makes emphatically more sense!! If only the US would adopt it...
A #6 screw is about 3.3 mm in diameter - the numbers I crunched were for the minimum thread diameter of .116 inches (2.9mm), which would be the maximum material availabile to resist tension or shear forces...
Cheers!
