L20B Bolts

[wagoon]

I'm looking for the sizes for the engine bolts for an L20B, meaning lengths as well: Water pump, all of the timing chain from the tensioner and dampener(s), timing cover, head bolts for a U67, and so forth. I searched carpartsmanual.com and all they have is the model #'s which I do not need. I want to just go to Pep boys and go brand new all the way around instead of waiting for the old L16 engine to come out. I'm ready to put this together now. Any one know off hand?

if i remember, i can take my calipers out and measure for you tomorrow.

PM in the middle of the day maybe around 1 or 2

 

also, i see youre in chula vista. 

check out marshalls industrial hardware in miramar.

they have an awesome selection of bolts that are very affordable.

theyll be grade 8 zinc bolts. 

im sure you can find a 'hardware' store closer but thats the only one i know off hand

youll save a lot more money this way and youll get exactly what you want

You could take one bolt out at a time and have them matched.

Personally, there is nothing finer than OE bolts.

 

Got a rock tumbler by chance?

[bananahamuck]

You are going to send him measurements of every bolt on the engine?? Man your going to be measuring for half the day

[Dawa]

lol. i got my L20 completely broken down so i can send at least some. 

and ill post it up for the rest of the internet universe to reference as well :)

Ahh yeah...post up another fine write up for the L-series L20b bolts!!! Much appreciated Dawa.  :thumbup:

 

I do not have a tumbler; although having one wouldn't be a bad idea but I gotta save up for my manifold and other stuff. 

[flatcat19]

You can get a rock tumbler at HF for cheap.

 

There was a cool write-up in Project Car Magazine about how to restore your bolts.

I'll go hunt it down.

 

Cheaper than going generic.

The write-up in Project Car used different materials/media, but you get the point.

rock tumblr 

and evaporust for rusty items

evaporust eats zinc coatings and similar though...

but if the item is over ridden with rust, evaporust is the way to go. 

not necessarily on topic with engine hardware but still a good reference

I have part numbers for the OEM bolts...well most of them anyway.

This tells qty for each part. So where do you get them at the dealership?
