Help! Where does this bolt go?

[Dynalow00]

I have not been able to figure out where this came from- motor has been in and out several times, but never had extra parts.
Looks like a 15mm head, about 1.75" long. Its a floating washer under the bolt head, if that helps... Any help is much appreciated! -Steve

In the spare parts bucket? Idk there are many like it on the motor

AC compressor???

^^^^AGREED
Looks like the manifold hose bolt

 

[TurboGN86]

it does look like the one that holds the AC compressor to the mount at the bottom. but like previously stated, there are plenty of bolts like that on our motors. just take you a chair out to the car along with some beers and just stare and touch things till somthing feels loose are you see somthing missing. usually works for me. somtimes you just gotta think about it for awhile.

bolts

transmission bellhousing to engine block looks like one I removed yesterday

If 10mmX1.5 thread, then the lower bolt to hold the aluminum accessory bracket to the cylinder head.

Ithink Turbofabicator is right on

No winners yet..

Slow91z- I think all the A/C bolts are shouldered..no washers

GNrail- Manifold (intake?) bolts should be 13mm head I think..All mine have previously been replaced with ARP..

Hiboom- Bellhousing bolts should be standard thread, not metric. At least on mine they are.

Turbofab- The aluminum accy bracket bolts I have are all shouldered- no floating washers. I believe they are factory, as they are all black.


Anybody else want to venture a suggestion? Thank you for all the replies so far- I will continue to look over my install to see if anything is missing! -Steve

Just don't worry about it. Within the next couple times your working on the car doing who knows what, you'll look up/down and see it. Works for me. That's the way I find all the tools my car gobbles up. What work have you done recently?

 

[pacecarta]

my guess
its not metric at all and its the upper bolt for the crank sensor bracket through the timing cover into the block

 

[turbofabricator]

Steve, it then must be an intake manifold bolt. I started to type that first, but it "kinda" looked like a 10mmx1.5 thread. It now looks like a factory intake manifold bolt that has been painted black. THe factory intake bolts are have a dull silver plating on them and are 3/8-16 thread.

........or, someone replaced a factroy belhousing bolt with a washer head bolt. (also a 3/8-16 thread) Shoot a pic of the bolt head, or drop by my house and I can figure it out for you.

intercooler bracket bolt? Alternator bolt?

 

[gsgns4me]

My guess is bell housing bolt.

If its a 5/16 SAE thread it's what pacecarta said. Otherwise it's non specific to a TR.

Steve says it looks like 15mm, if it is it's NOT the timing cover bolt as they are 13mm and it's to long also as they are 1 & 1/2 ins. long as are the intake manifold bolts. I really don't think its even a TR bolt.
