Hi all,

          After removing the cylinder head of my engine (FX block with FB/EK head) I have found them all to be the same length. The parts manual list there being. 8 short and 7 long bolts. Can anyone tell what sizes they should be as I'm replacing the bolts.

Walks,

The short bolts have an "O" marking on top, and the long bolts have a "*" marking on top.
