Okay, my quest in retrieving the dropped lifter is almost complete. I have the engine jacked up and the oilpan halfway off. I know that I am supposed to loosen the crossmemeber bolts but none of my tools fit the six bolts. Does anbody know what size they are? Thanks.

i think they are 15mm, everything on our cars seem to be 10-13-15mm mainly

Be careful when tightening the oil pan bolts. The two long ones in the rear only ned about 8 ft lbs and the rest are 22 ft lbs. Do not attempt to tighten then long ones to 22 or you will be removing a busted bolt. Good luck, and as Jerry said the Xmember bolts are 15s

I believe he is talking about the engine crossmember bolts. Those are 18mm.

They certainly look like 18mm, I just wanted to make sure before I bought the socket.

Thanks for the tip on the oilpan bolts.
