Engine oil pan bolt size ?

[homelessduck]

I have googled this but surprisingly I came up empty handed. What size are the oil pan bolts ? I don't have any to compare.

Thanks.

I should add: Four of those will use a 13mm socket. Those will go in the corners. The rest will use a 10mm socket. However, if you are working on an '89-up block (common block), you will also have one bolt that is a 6mm x 1.00. This one will go directly below the water pump's lower mounting bolt.

Way to go and confuse me ! Haha. Are there bolt kits available to simplify this ? I was just going to get them at the hardware store.

Well you definitely won't find the exact ones at a hardware store. But at least get the flange-head bolts so you still have the clamping force spread over a larger area without having to dick around with loose washers. Or you could try a junkyard or post a WTB ad here on the board. Good chance someone has some they'd give you for pretty cheap.

Thanks for the help guys ! I'll post a wanted ad on here as suggested rather than trying to figure it out at the hardware store.

We have an oil pan bolt kit on our website.
