Heys guys, pulled a bone head move just now! Was tinkering on the engine , just checking bolts here and there, snugging them up. And one of the valve cover bolts snapped off.....and of course it snapped below the rim of the hole. been trying to drill it out and use an easy out, but its being stubborn. Question is, does any one know the actual size of these bolts and can you get them from the parts store!

 

It's somewhat a specialty bolt as it has a step-shaft(?). The bottom of the plain round section bottoms on the rocker-arm pedestal. And it's metric IIRC.

- Look at one of the neighboring valve-cover bolts.

- 18ft/lbs is all they need.

 

Thanks BC847, yeah...struck out at oreilly's, but the thread size is 1.25 by 35 mm. So i stuck a regular bolt in it till i can get another from cummins.

 

Yea, best bet is cummins for that one.
