Omega General Help / Valve Cover Bolts / 3.0 V6
« on: 04 March 2008, 02:59:39 »
Hello All:
I'm new here (in case you haven't realized that). I recently acquired a 2001 Cadillac Catera with a moderate smoking problem. Upon inspection I found oil leaking from under the valve covers. I read up on it and found that it was a common problem.
I (stupidly) played around with the bolts and snapped one off. It's going to be lots of fun getting the bugger out, but after I do get it out I need to replace it.
Does any one know a part number for these valve cover bolts? Or atleast the dimensions so I can go aftermarket. To date, the closest I've gotten was this:

I've contacted the dealer who tells me he can special order them from germany..but I'm getting the runaround...
Any hellp would be appreciated...
