Wanted Cylinder Head Cover Bolt

[Paul Rice]

Anyone out there with a spare (Only one required) Cylinder head cover bolt, to fit M44 although look pretty standard?
Think the fairy's have been and nicked one when i wasn't looking.
Will try dealers as Ebay, only american and only in sets, wanting a kings ransom.

Cheapest at the dealer, replaced all mine not long ago the rubbers go hard and brittle and then the screws become loose and cause oil leaks

Its a bit of a sickener as i had all new seals, cleaned and painted bolts all ready to go in, cover knocked bolts all over kitchen (yes working in kitchen) All bolts found except 1 turned kitchen upside down without success so excepted defeat and just need the one but if i have to order ten will do

 

[zedonist]

Do you still have the washers, as they are separate to buy?

Try spurs fan, he may have some off an M44 he has

 

[Paul Rice]

It was a complete bolt with washer and new seal fitted, already to be fitted, after fiddling with the new rubber gasket!

Did you checked the pets? If they play with your bolt in some corner of the house!?

Sorry...
Regarding the bolt is something that happened to me often in the last time. In most cases the object is in my sight , but I'm too in a hurry to see it...
According to Murphy's laws, the day after you receive the new set of bolts, you will find the missing one!
