I just picked a rebuilt 6-bolt that is missing several components so, I don't really know what size bolts hold what on and I don't want to guess. Is there a diagram/pic some where that tells what bolts go where?

Looking for (all 6-Bolt if there is a difference) bolt sizes:
  1. 90 OFH to front case
  2. Waterpump to block
  3. Front water pipe to block
  4. Intake manifold to head
  5. Oil dipstick tube to block
  6. Crank pulley to crank (I think those are 12mm x 1.25)

and a few others. Any general knowledge about bolts on the engine is greatly appreciated. Thank You -Jeremy

After a few days of searching, I have found lots of information about bolts, sizes, and strengths but no actual diagram. Either way, does anyone know where I could buy specific bolts from? I checked ebay and found that you can get DSM bolts by the pound but I am worried that most of the bolts I am looking for will not be there.
 
Any good junk yards in your area? Thats where I plan to shop for my bolts when needed. It would be nice to have a book where every nut and bolt has been measured etc. My 70 superbee has such a book. Very nice but I bet it took the guys a long time.
 
I tried using CAPS, don't know if these are correct, but someone else can hopefully chime in, just trying to help.

Crank Pulley to Crank MS240211 8x2
MF140029 WaterPump 8x30
MF140238 WP 8x65
MF140026 WP 8x22
MF140028 WP 8x28
MF140022 WP 8x14
MF241264 Oil Filter Housing 8x5
MF241268 Oil Filter Housing 8x7
MF241261 Oil Filter Housing 8x4
MF241266 Oil Filter Housing 8x6

I couldn't locate the dipstick tube, or water pipe bolts. The intake manifold had several and could not figure the diagram out at the moment.
 
Your best bet would be to buy the factory service manual on CD. They're on ebay for around $20-$30. The factory manual has diagrams, and the CD should come with the CAPS parts look up program which will have diagrams too.
 
You can get the CAPS program for free via online download
