Water Pump Bolt Specs

[TNPhoon]

For stock water pump: Anyone know what they are off the top of their head?

I have to go to Home Depot / Lowes after work and don't want to have to run home first to grab one of them.

I think he is looking for length not torque.

Yeah.

3/8 x 2" (Thanks tyrodd)

We should create a bolt / nut / fitting size spreadsheet.

Be careful about what grade of bolt you use.

I dont know what is sold at HD/Lowes, but I would suggest that at least a "Grade 5" be used for this application.

x2, avoid "butter bolts" like the plague. 5 will be fine for something like this, otherwise I use all 8.

lol - wish this thread was up a few years ago. Grade 5 do not hold up to 85 ftlbs nor does that secure the water pump
