Replacement bolt question

Post by completetech »

Ok so long story short. With I lost a bolt, or more then likely my engine compartment ate a bolt. This particular bolt happens to be the bolt the secures the evap control module on the passenger side to the valve cover.

So in short. Any idea what the part number is for that bolt. Now the crazy thing is those two bolts are much greater in length then any of the other bolts requires for the valve cover in any of the other areas.

Thanks,
Nathan

Go to the stealership, NOT TO BUY, but for information. They can give you the size of the bolt you need and you can procure said bolt at the local fastener shop for LOTS less.
