Need bolts to remove crank sprocket

[DemonNeno]

I can't seem to find any sources for these. I found the right size and pitch (m5x.80) but can't seem to get a hold of the length needed. Any ideas? Chicagoland area? My one source that I've stuck to all along is now closed (uptown des plaines).

Timing cover bolts (the long ones) you will need 2 obviously and 1 motor has 1 long one.

MTX cars have two.

After going to every hardware store I could think of, I finally found one that was long enough. And they only had one.

Hah! Go figure.. After spending the whole day looking for them! I dont think the motor that the crank is coming out of has the belt cover bolts anymore, but I'll check to see.

One person who posts here just drilled out and re-tapped the holes in the crank pulley to accept easier to find inch-sized bolts.

Fastenal. They have any bolt you would ever need. You may have to buy a few of them but you will get what you need.

They are just down the road. Talk about convenience!

Well, they worked great! Thanks for the tip fellas! Ended up using shorter bolts to complete the removal of the sprocket w/o any inner fender clearance issues whatsoever.
