Hey,

Does anyone know the timing cover bolt sizes on the VQ35DE (for an 04 g35)?

I know it uses some M8 and M6 bolts (possibly some M5s too) but I have no idea what the lengths are

I'm trying to buy new chromed bolts for my timing cover swap but I don't know what to order

 

bump, no one knows?

 

check the FSM. They come in different lengths depending on the location.

 

I got this and then sent the bolts out for powder coat.

Or, just pull a bolt from the center top of the cover and take it to lowes or home depot to have it sized. I want to say its an M6x1.25for the cover, but all the VQ parts are in the shed and we just got 6" of snow today so I'm not going out to check. Two or three of the bolts are longer than the others, they are not all the same size for sure.

 

the FSM doesn't give the sizes just the torque specs

 

Just wanted to let everyone know RRYDE (Randy) went through the effort of measuring all the engine bay bolts on G35driver......much thanks goes to him for the great work

It does too list the sizes... just not on the same page with the tq spec and bolt pattern. I think it might even be in one of the appendixes.
