Hey guys. Not sure if my last post went up or not, but i have tried to answer my own question and have done some research trying to find where to find the hardware that i need that link my oil pump and upper timing cover. If you have the part number for the two bolts, bless up, i just need to figure out where to buy them. If you do know of a place to order any nissan bolts PLEASE let me know lol i want to start my motor but im not tryna blow a headgasket or something. Heres a picture of the spot i am talking about.

I’m fairly certain those are just M6x1.0 bolts you can get at the hardware store, just get the correct length. 10mm head.

Yeah man, i looked and looked made like siz trips to the hardware store. its just such a weird bolt because (excuse my lack of knowledge) the spacer / flat part of the bolt is big then theres the threads which are way smaller than the diameter of the wide part. Like it goes from O -> o . god someone please flame me lmao.

I know what you mean, if you don’t have a collection of OEM bolts then finding that specific one at a hardware store can be difficult. However, the threaded part doesn’t really matter as it can be completely threaded and still work.

Ok. So i dont neccesarily need the wider part, as long as it bolts in im fine? i have all my bolts marked with a paint marker to see if they move at all, but i just want to be as safe as possible, its my first time building a motor and i want to do everything i can do to do it properly lol.
Last thing i want to do is blow my headgasket because i bought some boof ass bolt haha

If it were up to me I would just use a standard bolt that’s threaded all the way. However, if you’re that meticulous, it wouldn’t hurt to dig extensively and source original hardware.

There are some specialty hardware stores that carry every size/pitch.
Like in our case here in San Diego we have Marshalls hardware in Miramar.
Marshalls is so good ive seen Nissan and Infiniti shop workers go in there looking for misc bolts.
