Flywheel Bolts for 88 S-10 2.5L Standard

[Sedin26]

I've been looking around for a set of flywheel bolts for my 88 S-10 Pickup with the 2.5L. The dealer says they're discontinued and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I'm wondering if there might be a supplier that still has them or makes them..

do you know if the blazer and pickup use the same bolts?

I think that engine was used in marine application such as stern drive, Check with a Mercury dealer. Or check the auto wreckers

I saw that site and the dorman parts listing is completely wrong - doesn't inspire confidence in the other options. I'm pretty much looking for something local.

I'm a bit surprised these are so hard to find but I'll probably just re-use what I have.

I would recommend new flywheel bolts. when my 92 mitsu mirage rear main seal leaked, the auto trans had to drop. the mechanic reused the same bolts. forgot the loctite, and they came loose, my flexplate cracked and I was stranded. he had to do the job all over again on his dime.

That's great if they can actually be found somewhere but I've been unable to come across any and they have been discontinued by GM. I also won't forget to use Loctite
