Nissan Repair: bolt pattern on 1994 nissan timing cover, nissan quest, bolt pattern


Question
After I removed the timing covers on my 1994 nissan quest 3.0 liter engine I can not remember the position of the two short bolts. There are eleven bolts including the two short ones. Can you locate them for ms?

Answer
Tony,

the two short ones go up top.  An easy way to show where they go is to just sit the bolts in the holes.  The short ones will bottom before catching threads.  The rest will set up out of the holes by a half inch.  Now, the ones that sit too far out are where the short bolts go.
