SuBrat84 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 So I'm rebuilding this '97... STILL... and I need 3 bolts and no clue where to get them since the websites etc are for common parts.. I couldn't even find part numbers out from the "local" (100 miles) stealership. I need: 1 camshaft bracket bolt (holds the camshaft onto the head) 1 exhaust stud bolt and nut (holds the exhaust manifold onto the head) 1 oil pan bolt (holds the oil pan on the block) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

porcupine73 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Exhaust studs and bolts: (I think the X6 at the end just means quantity 6) 800910550X6 & 902370029X6 EXHAUST STUDS & BOLTS (qty 6) FOR 1990-2005 LEGACY (non-turbo) For the oil pan bolt and the other bolt, you could just take one to ace hardware or a similar fastener place and match it up. ace hardware has metric flange bolts (very common on the soobs). Or if you have even one of the plastic thread gauges, you can find out if it is M6, M8, M10 etc. Most tap and die sets etc have a thread pitch gauge included to find out 1.0mm 1.25mm 1.5mm etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 You just need to find a good supplier of metric fasteners. Bolts are what's known as "bulk shop supply" and are not generally ordered. Although they do have part numbers most of the time. Find one that fits and has enough thread engagement (generally 1.5x the width of the fastener). GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 the one for the oil pan is not concerning me at all because im pretty sure i have some of those laying around in my piles of old suby bolts.. the exhaust stud I can probably get locally as well.. it's the cam to head bolt that concerns me.. it seems like it is very specifically machined to keep the bracket from moving..

mdjdc Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It sounds like you are describing a CAM cap bolt and that is what you need to ask for at the dealer. They won't know it as anything else. I ordered two that a mechanic broke using an impact gun to put them back on. They were about 2.00 apiece. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 There are 2 different diameter cam cap bolts. The ones up front closest the pulley are much smaller in diameter - and take much less torque. You'll need to know which one you need. FYI on each cam it takes 2 of the skinny bolts and 4 of the larger bolts that are under the valve cover. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yeah it's the larger inner ones.. i knew that the outter ones were smaller. The dealer up in Rapid has some im getting. I hope they are the right ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
