Help Identifying Rod Bolt Part Number 
Original bolt
With apologies for this being my first post, I am hopeful that someone may be able to help me out of a jam. I am rebuilding a 5.3 (Gen III), and now in reassembly stage. Unfortunately when letting my son help he accidentally rounded off the rod bolt head. I was able to remove the offending part, but now have had no luck finding a replacement. I tried to Google, and ended up with part number 11610158, but that unfortunately is not right. As shown in the first photo, the bolt has a fairly long shank, and consistent thread pitch throughout. The new (wrong) bolt has a shorter shank and two different thread pitches. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Sorry to revive almost 3 year old thread but did you find an answer? I seem to be in the same situation. I bought a set of new bolts (11570662) and found they have the same 2nd set of threads and the spacer, bushing thing has a smaller od than the original bolts do so it seems like the spacer is doing nothing. The bolts that came out look like your original one and there's a bushing on it that fits tight into the rod cap and the bolt will thread out of it
