hello all i'm new here (obviously) and need some help! (obviously again haha) hopefully i'm not breaking any rules but anyways heres my situation.

so i'm putting a new timing chain on my 1987 yota's 22RE and got my bolts all mixed up . so i'm gonna post some pictures and hopfully someone can tell me what they go to. what is still apart that i can't find bolts to fit is the serpentine pulleys bracket, alternator bracket and the right side water passageway And possibly other parts. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

 

put em where they fit

 

Not 100% sure, but the two in the middle, with the wide, long neck (like none of the others) go to the timing chain guide on the left side if the timing chain as you look at it.

 

The three at the bottom look like they go to the water return pipe on the exhaust side of the block.

 

darn...i thought tonight was name those nuts night...ughhh

 

You are going to have to put them where they fit and be careful not to use too long or too short a bolt in the wrong spot. Easiest thing to do in the beginning is to make a cardboard diagram of the bolt layout and then as you remove them punch the bolt through the spot on the cardboard so you have everything in the right spot.

 

there is a diagram of at least the timing chain cover where all those bolts go with lengths and diameters floating around here somewhere. I am sure if you search, you will find it.

 

that's the problem, i've tried hand tightening all of them in and none of the seem to fit. theres no way any of them go to the timing chain guides i actually kept those bolts together when i took it off and put them right back on with the new guides. i have that diagram but i've already got almost all of the timing chain cover bolts in. minus the water return pipe like Morton said.

 

if you or anyone you know of is doing timing chain replacement please take pictures of every bolt, screw, nut you take out. my truck is at an abosolute stand still til i figure this mess out. anyone got any diagrams of where these bolts could possibly go? really really need help.
