Hello fellow DSMers.
I'm writing to ask for your help on something I didn't find yet (maybe looking for the wrong key words) even writing head bolts, doesn't appear anything else than posts related to 7 bolt or 6 bolt heads.
So what is my issue? Well I'm almost able to close my 6 bolt engine to be mounted in my 2g. Been waiting for this for a year and a half and a minor issue just created a big hold up.
In order to close the engine I purchased new head bolts from an online autoparts shop. Been buying stuff from them for a good time now and the always sent everything right.
This time was no different, everything came acording to specs, my problem is that the head bolts that are in spec for my engine are 20 mm longer then the bolts I took out of the same engine when I opened it.
Now, I don't know where I can go get new bolts that actually fit my engine. It's a 6 bolt block with respective 6 bolt head. The bolts are M12 and the only bolts that online auto parts have are M12s 104mm long (which is obviously too long since the ones that were in the engine before are M12s 78mm long).
Any feedback is good, I hope to hear from you guys to finnaly be able to close it and hopefully have the car running at the end of august. Thank you.
PS: Photo of the size difference of the bolts.
