This Sucks

[zion]

Well since I have been taking so long on rebuilding my SR, re-doing everything on it. I have seemed to have lost the Bolts for the Valve Cover (all of them) and the whole oil pan assym. Does anyone know where I can get them? Can we get them through Nissan USA dealers or do we have to get them from JP. Or if anyone has some that they would care to sell/give :ylsuper me that would be awsome. Thanks for all the help. As of now I am stuck.

i dont see why the hardware from an infiniti G20 wouldnt work.

G20's use the SR20DE. the hardware is most likely identical.

Ok cool. so i guess my next question would be if I can just walk up to a Nissan dealership and get the bolts or is it off to the junk yard again?

You should be able to get them at the dealership. OR, you could just measure what length you need, then get the right size. Just screw in another bolt or screw until you find the right diameter and thread pitch, then head down to lowes and pick the appropriate bolts up. Probably easier to jsut go to the dealership though...

wait, you lost the bolts to the valve cover? not the nuts?

[zion]

Yeah, I have the nuts and the rubber inserts I just dont have the studs. Oh and by the way if you go and look for the studs at a dealership for a 1991 Sentra SER, they are about $180, I about fell over when he said that. There has to be another way!!!. :help . Anyone else have any ideas?

GET BOLTS WITH the same threads as the studs, and bolt the vc down to the head... i've done this with other studs, just find one that is shorter, so you can get it tight with out hitting the bottom of the 'threaded stud hole'

[loudbay]

um..... i didn't mean to say stud hole
