What bolts for the thermostat housing on a 3.8L series 2
Hello my fellow monte peeps to make a long story short I was changing my thermostat on my 2001 SS and one of the bolts broke off and I need replacement bolts for my thermostat housing. If anyone can sent me a link on where to buy some or just tell me the measurements I can try to go find some. Thank you guys!

Well, theyre two different lengths but same diameter and thread pitch. I THINK theyre 20 and 30mm but I could be way off. Head is certainly 10mm.
You can take the good bolt into the hardware store and they have a thing you screw the bolt into to find the thread pitch.
Another option is just buy the 'GM thermostat housing bolt kit' from ARP. Youll have to find which one is for the 01 Monte Carlo. It should come with 3 bolts. Two of the same size and one longer one. You could obviously use one long and one short.
