uh.. trust me. Don't do a bolt. They have studs in there for a reason. Studs are a lot better at holding ridiculous amounts of force, whereas bolts are already tensioned tight outwards when you tighten them into the threads.. so it can hold a lot less than a stud can.

ok...grrr...so..hmmmm....can you buy a new stud from like autoparts stores.....?
and as for the bolt stress..the other 3 studs are just fine...i really cant see the harm in using a bolt (no offence to anyone)

(Once again, I am repeating myself..)
Take another one off the engine and go to the store and match it.
It's not difficult.

Vohaul,
CT might not have it... they'll probably only have 12mmx1.75, which is the common size.
What you should do is find a *good* hardware store, preferably a nut&bolt/industrial fastener specialist. This means not CT or Home Depot, but the kind of place where industrial contractors and people go to get their stuff. Typically these places are unknown to the average consumer and out in the middle of an industrial park, but they are absolutely fantastic compared to CT and the personel there are usually pro's who can answer any question you might have and give you good advice.
They'll have studs that are like 6 feet long, and they'll be able to cut you some of whatever length you ask for.
I'm sure there are also automotive stores that could find you what you need.
