Default Flywheel Bolts

Just confirm Im not going mad after 12 hours at work.

Just got home to a box of bits from a well knows RS turbo/cosworth parts supplier. A nice new sump gasket and flywheel bolts. In the pack that the flywheel bolts came in there was 4 of 1 size and 2 of the next size up. Im not sure on the exact size as they are a fine thread but for arguments sake say the 4 of them were 8mm and the other 2 10mm. The 8mm bolts fit and the 10mm bolts dont which isnt right in my eyes. So I need to change the 2 wrong ones for 2 of the same size that the other 4 are.

Its a stupid question I know but I didnt want to look a prick when I call them up tomorrow and they tell me I've ordered the wrong ones or thats the ways its suppost to be etc.

Thankyou.

I don't think there was a question there


Anyway, all cvh engines have 6 identical flywheel bolts. They are only spaced unevenly so the flywheel can only be bolted in by all the 6 bolts at one orientation in relation to the crank.

Default flywheel bolts

I am 99.9% sure they are all the same
