I know that when you use the 8v baffle plate you use shorter bolts (m6 x 20) but iirc there are two longer bolts, does anyone know the length and which ones they are?

Thanks Graeme

are they the two which are on the cambelt end of the engine, which is the narrowing of the sump.

and not sure on length

Length of bolt doesn't really matter as they are the ones that go through the oil pump and it's threaded all the way through. I just used the original bolts for those two.
