Not sure what size you need, but that isn't the way I measure screws and bolts.

Just take the bolts you have to a hardware store, and I guarantee they will have a thread-testing board thingy you can use.

Unless you know exactly what size metric thread you need (e.g., m6, m8, m10, m12, etc.) just do that.

Furthermore, you should be able to get the bolts you need from most hardware stores, and most grade 8 bolts from NAPA.

Get some allen-head cap screws with a washer instead of trying to find a similar OEM replacement. I provide these with the valve cover isolators that I make and they look much cleaner. I am going off of memory but I'm pretty sure they are M6x1.0x30mm long. I'd double check the thread pitch on that.

^^ This is what I did, too.

For the timing cover, correct?(couldn't be for the rocker covers, too long)

I'm almost 100% sure the 30mm is correct. Measure up the set I sent you
