Hello,
I'm making [very] slow progress getting this build done. It has been a long time since I tore it all apart and also had to move everything from one house to another in a haste. Compounding that, the car was previously someone else's questionable project, so I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't have the correct bolts in the first place! Therefore, I'm hoping to get some numbers so I can run to a hardware store with a good selection of bolts to hopefully pick up what I need. Any help would be appreciated!
I've seen the diagrams and found a fairly helpful thread here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-many-bolts-for-oil-pump.482725/ but I still have a few questions:
1) There are a bunch of different bolt sizes according to the factory diagram, which seems (correct me if I'm wrong), a bit unnecessary. The bottom image in the link cited above lists the majority of the bolts as "12mm short", so is this a "one length fits all" in those spots? The shortest length in the official diagram shows 20mm, so should I go with that in those spots or should I go with something bigger?
2) I can find no mention about the bolt lengths used for the oil pump gear cover on back of the oil pump housing. I found some that fit (but still not enough), though they seem quite long compared to the ones I saw in some youtube videos discussing the pump, but it's hard to compare. Any suggestions on the length I could use there?
Thanks!
