Default What are these bolts? *PIC*

I'm getting ready to drop my engine back in and have all my bolts set out. Can anyone tell me what these are? I didn't label the obvious ones, and I know what most of these are, just want to make sure. Plus it's a nice trivia game for everyone.



BTW - I think #2 & #3 are for the motor mounts, can anyone tell me? Thanks!

#1 Coil packs and yes #2 is drivers side motor mounts and #3 is passengerside #4 Radiator suport #5 not sure #6 I believe goes with #20 for the A/C and bracket #7 I believe is the timming chain cover and #8 water pump #9 Not sure looks like STB bolts #10 the washer is throwing me #11 looks like the Oil dip stick bolt #12 ? #13 looks like all the oil pan bolts#14 looks like the power steering bracket bolts 15 # more coil pack bolts #16 It is a ground bolt for the back of the heads or the one on the ground strap next to the starter #17&#18 are the starter bolts#19 looks like a bolt for the Alternator Bracket. The sizes are deciving on hear so I am not 100% sure on all and it depends if you pulled the motor out the top or the bottom, and if these are some of the bolts from tearing down your motor and associated equipment. Thanks for the game. LOL!

I think that pretty much sums it up, I tried to answer all of them and wasn't able to answer even this many of them.

These went on today:
#2 - Motor Mount
#3 - Motor Mount
#7 - Tranny to Engine Bolts

The timing chain cover and oil pan are already on the car so that rules out a few thoughts. All of the leftover bolts are for accessories and such.

BLKWS6 - good catch, I'll have to check my box-o-parts again tomorrow!

Yeah I couldn't tell sizes by the pics #7 I thought were 10mm from the pic, but I guess they are the 13's for the motor to trans bolts so you are good. and if you used two of each of the motor mount bolts on each side you are fine the ones on the drivers side are to hold on an additional heat sheild. So you just need the studs on the top of the drivers side mount. Yeah I saw 5, but I just thought he had the other one some place else for what ever reason no one can mistake those. I take it you use Royal Purple?

Perhaps a photo of them with the relevent parts would have been useful BEFORE throwing them in the cardboard box under the work bench that was already half full of junk from tearing down the outboard motor and the microwave! Some of those bolts look like they come from a washing machine. LOL.
We've ALL done it!

Toonz- I see the way the rocker arms are discolored. Unless that is the photos again, but Royal Purple is one of the only oils that stain the parts dark like that Castrol Does is a little to has something to do with the additives? I was just guessing cause of the darker color could be just the fact that you car is a 98 and has a few more miles on it that I am used to seeing. Sounds like you have the hard parts done Good luck if you ever want to pull the motor from the botom let me know I've patened that method.

99Z28vert & Fastone- Yeah I have done a few and I am a fanatic about having things look factory. The right bolts in the right places etc... I always look at the details on the install jobs that people do.
