idosubaru Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Can't find EJ oil pump bolts and the pump is removed from my spare engines, with no bolts to be found. I think they're all the same length (unlikely older gen oil pump bolts? Same as the water pump bolts? Same length anyway? Any attention to material...stainless or no...if i get them from a hardware store? Edited May 6, 2013 by grossgary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Stainless + aluminum = bad. Hardware store stainless is usually pretty soft anyway. I save those size bolts whenever I take something apart at the junkyard, I have dozens of them floating around in my toolbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Gary, If need be I can likely pull a pump and send you the bolts late tomorrow. I'm sure I have some removed but no idea of where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) thanks guys. i found some in my box of fasteners...i think they're even EJ oil pump bolts, perfect length, looks the same, etc. Edited May 7, 2013 by grossgary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
