Just finished the timing chain replacement. I installed the cover with some silicone on where the metal splits. Just need the spec for the cover bolts. Please don't tell me that shorter and longer ones have different spec lol. Also need the same for the water pump bolts and the valve cover bolts please.

These should cover all the bolts and nuts you need. Oh and sorry but the bolts have different specs. The 2 larger bolts are M10. The other 13 are M8 spec

Thanks. Oh ya I knew there are 2 big bolts, just meant that the smaller ones have different length, and didn't know if some are different than the other small ones in torque.

No difference with those, as long as they are in the correct holes. Don't want a long bolt in a short bolt hole.
