Title: How long are the upper oil pan bolts?
Post by: haledj on May 08, 2008, 12:21:51 AM

I want to buy some new ones before i take my pan off and drill them for wire.

So, how long from the base of the head to the end of the shaft.

Also, the are M6X1, correct?

Officially they are 6x18, but I think you can settle with 6x20mm.

Your going to safety wire the inside upper pan bolts? Good luck with that. Little tube of blue lock-tite will do you just fine.
