Clutch Inspection Cover Bolt Replacement
I seem to have lost the two large bolts that hold bolt the inspection cover to the oil pan/block. Anyone know the size of these bolts (length/thread)?

Which 2? I seem to remember there being empty holes in my inspection cover when I did the clutch. I may have lost the bolts too or maybe we never had them.

Difficult - no. A lot of work - yes. Easier on a lift, for sure.

Depends on your level of skill. First time, with the right tools, probably a good 16 hours or so.

That's weird that you have empty's too. Perhaps they are prone to vibrating out? They are the lowermost holes (one right by the oil filter in Patches' picture) facing forward in patches' top picture and can also be seen as the bottom most bolts in patches' bottom picture.
Anyone think I'm causing any harm by not having these? I can't see them providing a great deal of structural integrity.
Thanks for the bolt specs and part # Patches!
