I had two head bolts fall out of my engine. They were snapped in halp. I think I'm going to get away with a new gasket and bolts but don't know what the torque pattern and settings are. What I am confused about is why Force uses type 5 bolts instead of type 8. Over half of the bolts that I pulled seemed to have a little bend in them. ANY HELP???<br /><br />Reese

Hi i didn't write T-slot I wrote T-Stat Meaning Thermostat. Thats the top in my referance. Should be a squar/ retangle hole. i think also the spark plugs are more to the right as you look at it.Next to the third bolt down on the left side sould be a wire from the temp sensor that would be the left side.<br />steve
