There should be a larger 'bearing face' on a flywheel bolt (ie under the
head).
Here in Australia, I used the flywheel bolts off a 'Holden Red motor' -
which is effectively an 'Australianised' 6 cylinder Chev engine from the
1970's. The Holden flywheel bolts are stronger and are 12 point - and they
half as much over the counter at the local Holden dealership. I didn't use
the two std locktabs - just oil & Torque. The holden bolts were almost a
perfect length and were (from memory) 3/8" 24 tpi
Hope this helps
Best regards
Chris
