Oil Pan Bolts - longer ones in back or front?

[Dave_in_Texas]

Guys-

I'm installing the oil pan and didn't notice if the two longer bolts go in the front or back? There are four larger bolts that hold the pan in near the front/rear of the engine and didn't notice if the long ones came from the front or back...can any one tell me?

Thanks,

Dave

I think the longer go in the front, to bolt in to the timing chain cover. They should have 1/2 in. heads and so should the rear ones. All the others are 7/16 heads.

when I dropped my oli pan I had 4 long screws, two for center front and two for the center back

Me too. The four end bolts were all the same length and were 1/2".

Same here 1/2 inch in the front and the rear......I don't think they were longer than the others though??????
