Default Main bolt help

Ok bought a 5.3 block and it came with the mains but not the smaller main bolts that go in from the sides. What size n length are they and can I just get class 10.5 hardened bolts?

I'm not sure what size they are but you can get them at your local dealer pretty cheap I would think. Part number 12556127. If you can't get them, call us and we can get them for you.

I would get the OEM bolts. They have a pretty significant influence on the housing bore for only torquing to about 18-20ft-lbs.

The OEM bolts also have a silicone seal molded under the bolt head.
