would anyone on here be able to tell me what size bolts hold the timing cover on? i cant seem to remember which bolts are the ones for the timing cover
length, head size and thread type and size would help :)

In short mine are chrome plated with a high/tall aspect head. (What I am trying to say is that they are not of normal proportion and should be easy to ID)

There's at least 2 different lengths ( long to hold the water inlet hose pipe tab and possibly 2 others ) re head size ill check when the sun is up....

1/4 " ww that's on a spread bore 2 litre .. Easiest way to sort length is to look .... The longer one on the water pump bracket is on the passenger side and quite visible by looking at the block ... Find that one then check the length of the ones you can't see as outside castings on the block ...
Happy hunting

thanks for the help guys, anyone have a clue as to how many haha? my main problem is the motor and tappet cover are at the engne rebuilders. i dont get the time to get there besides about 1 hour on a friday afternoon, i have a fair idea of which bolts may be the ones, but not 100% sure, is there 14? or 12 in quantity and how long are they exactly? i have all the bolts for the car at home just some have lost labels over the years and now i have to guess as to whats what :/

Part no . 250530 x 10 5/16 x 1 29/32 " ( 1/4 w head) 1 x pn 250531 5/16 x 2 1/4 " ( 1/4 w head) ... 11 spring washers . 1 plain washer and one distance peice ( water pipe to block/ timing cover )
That leaves one vacant hole??? Typo or 11 of the aprox 2 inch set bolts .
