12 bolts in the timing cover.  There are two different sized bolts, 5  that appear to be 1/4 inch and 7 that are 5/16 inch.  Is size the issue here. No sly remarks!

    Also are 7 bolts to go with the 7 washers, and 5 bolts to go with    the 5 washers,  perhaps the 7 go into the front plate and the others    go into the block

I'm          working on an early 3000 engine and have encountered these          "special washers" for the 5/16" bolts on the timing chain          cover.
        
        
There are          7 (2K5197) called for on the front cover but what is odd is          that there are 2 different shapes. 
        
        
Normally          I would conclude that they were from different suppliers but          this is the 2nd time that I have come across this odd little          detail on very original 6 cylinder engines, 5 of one type and          2 of the other.
        
Wondering          if anyone else has noticed this and has a plausible          explanation.
