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.

Thanks,

             Just measured the ones that were fitted and they are all the shorter bolts.

Cheers

Walks,

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

Remember: if your Holden's not leaking oil, it doesn't have any.
