Can anyone please help me identify which one of these is an OEM KA24DE pressure plate bolt?I have a set of both. I could probably use either, but I would much rather use whichever one came with the motor.Thank you for any help.

Doh, I forgot the spare KA doesn't have a flywheel on it. It does, however, have bolts that are supposed to be holding the flywheel on and it is the "7" bolt!

The one with the 9 on it is correct.

The bolt with the 7 is one of dozens found throughout the engine bay securing random brackets.

Thank you.I found out that the #7 bolts are used to connect the slave cylinder to the transmission. Not sure why I have six of them though, haha. I guess there were more of them connecting other things, as gumby74 said.

Just for future reference, the higher the number the stronger the bolt. A chart for this can be found in the FSM. Looking at your torque spec's and the application for the bolt will help out too. That is if you don't get the answer on NICO first lol. Oh and it is a 9 btw.

If you have a local Fastenal they should be able to order you what you need. They have for us anyway. http://www.Fastenal.com

At first I was not able to find a couple of my 9 bolts. Searched the entire garage for over an hour until I finally noticed that I used them to hold the hood latch instead of the 7 bolts that are supposed to go there. Maybe you accidentally used yours somewhere else as well.
