They’re pretty thick, they came from the motorcraft pump that LMR has if it means anything, none of the reviews there mentioned anything about them being too thickHow thick are the heads of the bolts? Should be pretty think like +1/16”.
No, they are much thicker than that for sure. Do you know if I can find these bolts at a hardware store?Should look like these.

You can grind the heads down so they are much thinner.No, they are much thicker than that for sure. Do you know if I can find these bolts at a hardware store?
Yeah they hooked me up with a coupon code for showing them this bolt problem. I wish their return process was more user friendly. Having to weigh and measure the box before they will give you a label is a PITA. They need to improve that whole process.Or you can buy the same water pump from the local parts store, problem? Just take it back and get another.
LMR is a great place to deal with tho, best customer service.
I can almost guarantee that water pump isn't sealing with those bolts.No, they are much thicker than that for sure. Do you know if I can find these bolts at a hardware store?
