Figure out what size you need, and get some grade 8 bolts. Probably meaner than what the factory put in there.

Yeah, I had always thought that when engine RPM went up, so does oil pressure. Imagine my surprise when pressure went from 40, to 20, when accelerating from 55 to 70 mph..... Of course, it didn't help that some dipstick had stuff a rag into my motor when it was sitting at the shop when I was doing the plenum repair.......

thats exactly what mine did. dropped from 40 to 20, or less. although, no one stuffed any rags into my motor so i didnt have any additional problems aside from having to do the w/p twice in the same week.
