Volox Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I had my VG30 engine rebuilt and when I took it in, there were still some pieces attached like the flex plate and some of the brackets. I got it back with those items removed and cleaned along with a box of the bolts. But for the life of me, I can't figure out where this one came from... It's a thumb screw with a heads hex wrench head. And it isn't off from the plenum because that had already been removed. It's got to be off the block or the heads. Anyone have any ideas...?

SpecialWarr Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Manik: good call.... That's pretty much what I was thinking as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCJax2018 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have to agree with the crowd. It is a hair too small to be an intake bolt. Only reason I know is that I just had part of my intake off recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volox Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Thanks guys. Yup found the hole it goes in on the bottom of the bracket on the LH side head. That bracket it pretty much useless other than being the slinger attachment point and a good spot to hook up the chains for my hoist. Spare parts always bother me, so glad this one got figured out. Of course it also bothers me that the engine block has holes in it that don't get used... kind of wish they would have plugged those at the factory so it would be more obvious that you aren't missing something.

adamzan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 This engine was used in many different vehicles so it’s to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just save them for next time I can't find a bolt that 'I know I just set it down over here somewhere'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Reverse Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Yep. Over the shoulder into the spare parts box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I've got a drawer for that. Right chock full of bolts taken out of various things. It's saved me so many trips to the hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
