Flexplate to crank bolts

[mctwisty]

I'm not sure this is the correct place for this, but if you read my intro post, you'll see I got my truck with a bucket of bolts. My problem is, there were only eight flexplate bolts, and a dealer is wicked expensive, so, does anyone have a bolt that they're willing to part with- or, if you don't want to be stuck with a partial set, nine bolts you would be willing to part with? Again, sorry if I'm in the wrong place for askin'.

Do you have the flexplate spacer? And I will assume since you say flexplate, this is for a flexplate for an e4od.

 

[mctwisty]

i do have the spacer, and yeah, e4od

 

[cpdenton]

I hope you have some luck finding one. I have a set, with the spacer, but just don't want to break up the matched set.

On another note, when you do go to install these, make sure you use thread sealant on them. Oil will leak through the threads as the crank is tapped through to the crankcase.

These is a forum here for buying and selling. Might post there?

what do you have to have for the set?

i have flex plate bolts out of an 88 auto somewhere, will they work?
clueless on automatics.

 

[mctwisty]

if they're 1.75" long, they'll work.

As already posted you need to seal the threads or a horrible oil leak past the threads will happen. Also note the torque is 47 lbs.

will look in my box of bolts today.
