When I brought my car home, in the trunk there is a box with about 20-30 bolts in it, some are the same size, some there is only one of each size. I'm trying to figure out where they go to. The upper & lower timing belt covers are off, the water pump pullies are off, the harmonic balancer is off, and the valve cover is also off. Can anybody provide me with pictures of what goes where or maybe size charts? Thanks

Theres a list of what bolts go where floating around, theres no pics that go with the list though.
I am in virtually the same position putting my car back together, but Ive had dsms for years now so I know where most things go.
The bolts that really matter are valve cover bolts, and front case bolts. Both of which you can either bottom out or not get enough threads biting.
The front case bolts should all be gold tinted if that helps?
There is a list of the bolt size, length and where they go in the service manual for the pump and the timing belt cover if I am not mistaken. I will find them and send them to you when I am home tonight if no one has done it yet. The service manual I have is for 1992 talon AWD with a 6 bolt original engine and that's the best investment I made.
Does anyone know the size of the bolts from the harmonic balancer, and for the four bolts that hold on the two pullies onto the water pump sprocket? Thanks
This is the best I can do with my home scanner witout going over the limit that I can upload pictures in this forum. If it is still not readable, send me a PM and give me your e-mail so I can send you a better copy.

This is from the Service Manual for 1992 Laser/Talon published by Chrysler. I bought it from Amazon.com. A bit pricey ($120 for the 2 volumes) but worth every penny.

bigger bolts:
all of the top six sets of bolts have the same head size, are marked with 7's (the OEM ones atleast), and same pitch thread (threads into valve cover bolt holes if that matters?)
Thanks

The size of the bolt on the harmonic balancer/pulley (the one on the crankshaft) is M8x1.25x25. I do not know the size of the one on the water pump puller but it is the next size smaller diameter.
