I am working on a problem, and just made it worse. I was removing the cover from the cyl head.
I was trying to hurry, so I loosened all the bolts, then grabbed a plastic bag and one-by-one removed them all from the right side and dropped them in the bag - without noticing that they are different lengths!
Yes, it was a dumb move.

The left side is OK, I made note of which goes where. Wish it was a mirror of the left side,
but it isn't.
Can anyone tell me how to get the bolts from the
right side in the right places?
Thanks for any help.

I read it, and I'm glad I did! It could be the answer to the problem Thanks again.

The reason I started a new thread was because the old one was getting a bit long,
and I didn't want to have folks read three pages of 'old stuff' to get to the 'new'
problems. Also, because we had gotten a bit off topic towards the third page.
You are right, though, it could easily confuse folks trying to help or
just follow process. This one will die asap.
