Linky doesn't work- looking for information on these replacement bolts

I think Dorman makes a set. Or if you want to spend the cash on something really nice, ARP sells them.

Thank you!!! new link works fine

My "Timing chain & cover..." thread covers the bolts in detail, starting at post #39, to include detailed pics and part numbers used.

I'm easily confused, so I took Adam's & James's lists & pics and combined them with LMR's kit offering (posted here since lots of the old links don't work because of the latest VB upgrade):

James's list is more complete.

Both reference an item #9 in the pic, but don't have it in the parts list.

#9 is just the nut on the pointer stud. I think Fred fixed the photo.

I know it's just the nut, but what size is it? Is it just a regular nut from the hardware store? I thought we were trying to build a complete and accurate list.

torque spec's for bolts?- I searched but search doesn't seem to have the options it once did like specific forums or users

Sorry - I did the best with what I had. No one I talked to re-used the OEM pointer stud. I would ***ume it's 5/16", but SOMEone will have to try an assortment on the original pointer stud and tell us all what fits.

Ford service manual says: "Water Pump to Block/Front Cover, 17-24 Nm"

Post 53 has detailed notes/description of each bolt/stud, and pic 2 of 2 has the timing pointer hardware.

Post 57 has a pic of the hardware installed.

I posted specifics, after ordering Adam's list, which did not work for a stock replacement installation. So, if you are performing a stock replacement on the pump/cover, my list shoud be pretty close to what is needed.

Fred, thanks for the assist.
