Oil Pump install Q

[DustyR/T]

I brought my oil pump to my machinist w/ oil pan and screen. But I couldn't find the bolts. Anyone know the length, thread, and count of all the bolts. I think there were 5 bolts.

i just had a bad oil pump experience. I tightened down the oil pump bolts again (they were already "torqued") and I broke the seal on the oil pan and block.

I would suggest getting them from the junkyard or dealer........not gonna be easy to find the perfect bolts.

good luck getting bolts from a dodge dealer, i called for some bolts for the tranny mount and they are no longer available.

all I need is the thread pattern. I found the bolt length specs. I can get grade 8 or better bolts from my job.

well I might pull my pump tomorrow so if you dont find them before I pull the pump, I will measure using the gauge that comes with my tap and die set.
