Does anyone know where I could buy some? Mine are getting stripped and I want a fresh set, part number would be helpful.

Thanks!

I thought of that idea.But problem is I have a JDM HKS coilpack cover, which the bolts would be sucken in and stay flush with the cover. Unlike the stock cover, I need to use the philips screw driver to loosen or tighten the bolts.

Thats why i need the stock bolts...or something simliar.

I don't have pictures at the moment.

Anyway, what's the size of the allen head screws you used?

its a 5mm allen head but it is also the same size as the allen head bolts in your timing cover.
