Fastener index for Nissans?

Postby YleKyote » Fri Aug 25, 2023 7:09 pm

New to me 1998 Pathfinder 3.3L 4x4 SE, 164,000 miles. Used motor swapped.

I had a mechanic swap the motor and one of his helpers misplaced a few items. Is there a known fastener reference for Nissans anywhere?

This bolt (custom hold lol) was found laying inside the motor bay. Nothing near it holds this size that I have seen. I have found other missing or loose bolts but not where this one goes. The measurements are:

M10 shaft x 1.5 thread, 14mm socket head, 4-7/8" (124mm) complete length (with head), 4-3/8" (111mm) shaft length.

What places would use this bolt on/around the motor? Or is there a bolt guide I don't know of yet that might help me?

I'm about 99% sure that that particular bolt is one of those holding down the main valve cover. On my 2004, which has the 3.5 liter engine, there are something like 4 of these that bolt down through the top of the housing underneath the plastic cowling that reads "3500" on it. Is it a 12mm bolt? If so, then it's almost certainly that.
