I need valve cover bolts for a CA project weve got going. Im looking for either OEM replacements or a full set of whatever you used for your valve cover. I know there are some people that changed them from the disgusting screws to actual bolts or allen style bolts. Please fill me in. Ive got paypal ready to go.



Figured this would get more attention here than in the WTB section

go to ACE hardward.

all mounting bolts are 6x1mm

the inners are 30mm in length IIRC and 35s on the outdside....... I got the hex heads so I could use a socket. They keep them stocked and I buy them by the 50 packs for all the various cars.

enjoy

PS people have found when going to a hex or allen that they "over tighten" the valve covers. so dont crank the hell out of them. at ace they also carry the thread tap which can come in handy if you ever need it.
