Default Help me find my bolts

Somehow, I put two 15mm bolts in somewhere they weren't supposed to go. 13mm bolts were supposed to go there. Both bolts have the same thread size but the 13mm are longer than the 15mm. Now I am putting my power steering pump back on and I realized that I have two 13mm bolts instead of 15mm bolts like I am supposed to.

Any ideas as to where these 13mm bolts came from?

During this install, I have removed all of the accessories from the front of the enigine, the engine mounts, the steering linkage, intake manigold, and heads. I can't hink of anthing else I took off.

Did you take the transmission bolts out of the bottom of the transmission to remove the oil pan? All of the transmission to engine bolts are 13mm and a little longer than the PS bracket bolts.

Joseph, you are the man. when I went to go take a picture, I figured I might as well check the tranny bolts. I hhad forgotten that the back two bolts on the oil pan were mounted to the bellhousing! They they were, two 15mm bolts. Thanks a lot.
