Need FE rocker shaft bolts for 352

[finkrandy]

I need at least one of the longer skinny rocker shaft bolts for a FE 352, or a complete set of someone has one. I cannot find them for sale anywhere.

Do you have at least one you can use as a sample. If they are a standard size, your local hardware store may have identical bolts in grade 5 or 8.

Originally they are not a conventional 3/8" bolt. You need at least one of the originals on each side that is necked down in the middle so the oil coming up thru the head can flow better past the bolt to continue up into the rockershaft. Th other 3 bolts on each head could use a standard grade 8 bolt

@craig, Yes, I am missing one of the necked down bolts. I am having trouble finding one. I think the new part number is C1AZ-6A527-A.

About the only way to find one is possibly NOS or a take-off. What year is your 352?

ARP has a stud kit which will replace the entire set but $$$.

C1AZ 6A527-A - 3/8IN X 16 X 3 19/64IN - QTY 2
C1DZ 6A527-C - 3/8IN X 16 X 2 31/32IN - QTY 6

There is also a specialty lock and ground flat washer.

I saw the ARP kit. Very salty. I believe I found one. Thanks again

You're welcome. Stuff keeps getting harder and harder to come by.

Also, the old salvage yards are disappearing, to where you can't even get used parts.

Going to the Junkyard was always fun, too bad those days are pretty much gone. It's an online world now.
