oil pan bolts

[mdiesel]

so this 3800 series 2 build has been long in the making. started about two years ago , taking it slow and also teaching my 8yrold how to disassemble and rebuild a motor. finally finishing it up, went to bolt the oil pan on and somehow im missing 2 oil pan bolts. cant find them anywhere in my garage. i had put each set of bolts in a marked container, but misplaced these 2 lousy bolts. Does anyone on here have 2 oil pan bolts they'd be willing to ship to me ? obviously id pay the shipping charges and a reasonable amount for the bolts through paypal

I’m going to U Pull it on December 9th , if I can grab 2 bolts off one of the 3 Camaros I will . Going to look at miscellaneous vehicles and see what they have. They have a 97’ , 98’ and 99’ I believe, just pay shipping. I’m looking at misc. bolts and screws and interior panels. Are the pan bolts 10mm or 13mm I forget?

The oil pan bolts should be a 3/8” socket, can someone confirm this? I’m not crawling under mine.

Got my parts at U pick it, my friend didn’t show up but still got some parts. Didn’t hear from you OP and didn’t want to crawl under them in rocks and glass especially with my bad knee and arm. My friend would of though.

Hope this video helps. I had a leak on mine when I first bought it. It got replaced under warranty. But my rear main seal drips after driving.

He lost 2 oil pan bolts Edgar, was going to pick some up for him. If someone wouldn’t have smashed the back glass off the Camaros probably would’ve have grabbed a couple. That glass was everywhere.

Whoa, is this your camaros rear glass that got smashed?

Those bolts probably went into the k membrane.

No the OP was asking if anyone had 2 bolts for the oil pan, he’s been building his engine. I went to U pick it, and the 2 Camaros they had someone smashed the back glass out of them. Had glass everywhere on the ground so couldn’t get the 2 oil pan bolts for him.

Sorry for taking so long to get back, been a hectic couple of weeks. Anyway somebody from one of my Facebook 3800 groups sent me the two bolts I was missing. Thanks so much for looking out
