Wondering if anyone knows what size bolts are for a 6 bolt oil pan. I've looked around but I can't seem to find an exact answer. I know that the later 6 bolt and 7 bolt pans utilize the same size and the earlier 6 bolt doesn't. I need sizes and amounts of each.

Also, I need the VC bolt sizes.

I'm replacing all of these bolts but I can't seem to find a straight answer.

I just want someone to tell me the sizes like M6x1.0x10mm for example. Don't direct me to a site that sells them. :thumb:

(2x) Oil pan bolts under the timing belt: M6 x 1.0mm pitch x 10mm long
(18x) Other oil pan bolts: M6 x 1.0mm pitch x 12mm long
(6x) Inner valve cover bolts: M6 x 1.0mm pitch x 20mm long
(8x) Outer valve cover bolts: M6 x 1.0mm pitch x 25mm long

Thanks a million bro. How did you find all of those numbers?

Also, I've read that the EARLY 90 oil pans differ in bolt lengths if I'm not mistaken.
