    Found bolt in 4.3 bilge. Please help identify

    The bolt is an M8 x 20mm That means it is not a crank bolt. Could be a coupler to flywheel May be an inspection cover bolt May be an accessory drive bolt May be an accessory bracket bolt Spend $11 on a borescope for your phone and check the coupler

    Found bolt in 4.3 bilge. Please help identify

    Yes, Gen 1/2 SBCs and the 4.3 until the metric block had used the 7/16-20 flywheel bolts The Metric block used M11x1.5 crank bolts like the Gen 3/4/5 SBC The 9.8 metric stamp on the head points to the 4.3 90M metric block (1999 and later)

    Flywheel to crank is a 12.9 flanged bolt. My guess since it's a 9.8, it's most likely an accessory, or if it's an M6 it's an inspection cover bolt

    1991, the block was changed, 1- piece RMS crank, moved all the tooling to Mexico, consolidated designs of rotating assembly with other GM motors The flywheel went from a 153 tooth to 168 tooth So get a complete bobtail

    What size is the bolt? M6? M8, M10? How long ( under the threads) 15mm? 20mm? That will help point you in a direction. Other than that, as posted above, it's one of 50 or so metric fasteners from the motor.
