Do bolts come with a new timing cover or do I have to order them separately, because I'm missing some.

The 2G covers (mid and lower, combined) have more bolts than the 1G lower covers. Here are the 2G cover sizes:

Dealerships don't give you anything. You usually have to order everything seperately. You might be better just going to a local hardware store. I think they are just regular M6 bolts.
 
I don't mind ordering from the dealer if they're separate.

All the bolts aren't the same length I notice, not a big deal.

92-94

Thread diameter
× thread length
mm (in.)
A: 6 x 16 (.24 x .63)
B: 6 x 18 (.24 x .70)
C: 6 x 25 (.24 x .98)
D: 6 x 28 (.24 x 1.10)

You dont HAVE to get them at the dealer ship. Your local hardware store will have them. 6 x 1.0's is what you'll need.

I ordered mine through JNZ a couple months ago.

A= MD131417 = $0.70 each
B= MF140206 = $0.97 each
C= MF140209 = $0.29 each
D= MF140210 = $0.28 each
 
I have a 99 eclipse gsx im looking for lower timing cover bolt sizes and I cant find them anywhere. Do you know if the bolt sizes for 92-94 will match for 99?
