Re: Timing cover bolts - what size?
Probably 1/4" x about 3/4" long NC. I don't like generic bolts on the timing cover. The 7/16" head is big. Late model or aftermarket bolts use a flanged head so the same size bolt only needs a 3/8" socket. I just went and scrounged a bunch from the junkyard the last time I needed some.

Old thread, but... same problem here. My screws are rusted pretty bad. Any source where I can buy them new? I also need oil pan bolts and thermostat housing bolts...
Thanks.
Thanks.
