Upper starter bolt
Can anyone tell me the size of the bolt? I searched the fsm and found the following:
38-51{3.8-5.3,28-38}
Problem is that i have no idea what that means?
Can someone help me out?

and yes im looking for the size of it, not what to torque it to.
thanks

Ok, i found the part number for the bolt: N326-18-X91, and i got a hint from Rich on what size to look for. Can any point me in the direction of how to translate the part number in to the size of the bolt?

The lower starter bolt is the same diameter and thread pitch. Remove it and take it with you.
Technically since the top bolt uses a nut rather than screwing into the bellhousing the thread pitch can be whatever the heck you like, just use a bolt of the proper diameter and length.
