Crank Bolt Where can I get a longer than stock crank pully bolt? I'm swaping cams and would like to have the longer one. Can this be picked up from a retail shop around town, is there anything special about the bolt? I got a replacement one from FMS with my gasket kit, but I think it's the stock one. Thanks.

Yep, the one you got from FMS is your STOCK replacement bolt.
I went to Napa and ordered part #2801-225. It's a 16mm x 2.0 pitch x 120mm long bolt. I also ordered part#8071-0358, washers get 2 or 3. You'll need to use the washers on the longer crank bolt when you reinstall your crank pulley.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your cam swap.

I never really took a good look but i didnt know if the cam could come out as it sets up above the crank some distance but maybe the timing chain cover interferes.
Ive never done one so i dont know.

I got my longer bolt from a hardware place called Fastenal, bolt was like 6 bucks and shipping was about the same, I got it the next day. Hardware stores around here didn't carry that size bolt and napa wanted me to order 5 of them to make the order.
