Default ..:: The Magic Bolt ::..

Hi Guys!

Popped the hood this morning to check coolant and oil and found a bolt in the weirdest place. Hopefully wherever it came from is still being held in place by another one, better yet, it came from another vehicle and just ended up there. Go figure! ;-]#

Looks similar to the bolt(s) that secures the Secondary Air Control Valve to its bracket.

Thanks COORS, will look into it today! although in the one I found, the threads are pretty much covered in gunk; I don't think the one you're pointing out would get as dirty as this one, but I'll look into it, thanks again! ;-]#

I don't think thats an SAI bolt... looks like an M8 thats used on the lifting bracket mounted to the heads. It's used a few other places as wellbut I can't think of them

I don't have sai but it looks like an oil pan bolt to me. If that's what it is, we should build a shrine to it.
