timing cover bolts for 3.5 V8 '91 disco

Hi Folks !



I replaced my timing chain and am not 100% sure of the correct bolt placement, had anyone done this before..checking lengths and thread types they all seem correct anyone have a drawing...also FYI I have two MAF sensor's on eBay for sale 7901417628 and 7901416148 if interested, as the weird timing and running rich was obviously down to a very loose chain and shagged sprockets. Haynes and overhaul manuals don't show bolt types..DOH..I know silly boy should have noted..

If you mean which length bolt goes where, it's usually obvious when you try to fit 'em. the longest ones go where the water galleries are, then there's a medium-length one somewhere near the oil pump.

All the bolts, when inserted but not screwed in, should stick out by round about 3/4", which is about how much thread they have on them if you look.

I've never made notes about which goes where, and never had a problem putting 'em back.

Thanks Austin..pretty sure I had them right..just wanted to be sure... better safe than sorry..car is back together going..but have to adjust timing with light as is only approx at moment..

Cheers, Greg
