Need new oil pan bolts

[Anonymous]

Anyone know where to get some? Mine keep loosening up and then the pan starts to leak! :x :x I tried some blue loctite on them last time but it didnt do any good....

I figured trying some new pan bolts and some more blue loctite?

If nothing else, I thought some hardware store stainless bolts and some star washers?

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Doug

I bought a set of these:

Had to have my oil pan reconditioned and have these in now. I can't tell you what they used on the threads, but the gasket sealer was red.
Are the bolt holes OK?

Hey, mine came with three different styles: correct size, too long and metric forced in. Gotta be a solution out there.

Speaking of oil pan bolts, I've always wanted to use studs for the oil pan, just beacause it would make it easier to align.

Bolt holes are all right, just the bolts with the integral lock washer seems to be wore out

I'll have to look in my shop, I think the stainless bolt set I got from Marco a couple of years ago has all the stainless allen head pan bolts...

Are star washers better than lock washers I presume?

I tightened the pan up today and drove it 50 miles....not a drop of oil on the floor!

Now just to keep it tightened up....

Later,

If they're available small enough, those two-part locking washers JW mentioned, might be the go. The ones with opposing little ramps.

Belleville washers, maybe? I can't recall for sure.
