Don't worry about /8ths. They will be metric. They should be 10mm, but could be 12. 11mm is an odd size for a bolt (does exist). If you look at your average spanner set it has 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19 mm sizes as these aree head sizes for commonly used bolts. Thred size is establised by the holes you drill to tap and by memory 11mm and the others that have the head sizes that are not on the spanner list are not drilled with a straight sized drill, they could be a numbered or lettered drill.
M motors are 12mm (early to 4 maybe 5m) and 10mm after that for example.
If your engine holes pass right through just get something to fit through and use nuts. Couldn't recommend Bunnings bolts though. the only ones I've seen there aren't graded, they are just macine screws. Personally wouldn't trust them.
