~Engine- Ford 302 HO Roller~

when my friends from school were tearing down my motor, they threw all the bolts in a buket, and didn't label where they go..... i bought new bolts for just about everything, and right now i need to put on the timing chain, and dont have ANY IDEA what the bolt looks like?!!!!!

does anyone have a pic or detailed description of what it looks like?

THANKS

Probably not the best idea to throw all the bolts in a bucket...I label all my bolts individualy in bags...time consuming at first but well worth it in the end...

Well I recently put on my timing chain (FTI combo install)...and I don't have a good description really but if I remember correctly it was a 9/16 size "head" and it had little grooves cut into it with a center hole in the middle of the head of the bolt...hope that made sense ...also after you have narrowed down the bolts by size try seeing which ones thread into the cam and don't forget the washer with it...

Maybe this will narrow down your choice...

Good Luck,

David
