How many bolts are in the oil pan? Just working on my cam swap and got the oil pump and timing chain and gears off tonight. Oil pan seems like it can drop a little more so i can get to the pickup tube bolt a little easier. LS1how says theres 2 different size bolts 10 mm and 12mm. All i seen were the 10mm. Anyone ?

the other size is on the back of the oil pan, theyre actually tranny bellhousing bolts. I just did mine today too. And if im not mistaken, I think the two larger bellhousing bolts are the ones that get torqued first when going back together because it "locates" the oil pan to the front of the bellhousing.
