    Engine bolt and screw Sizes?

    I'm looking for some info on the lengths of various bolts and screws on the engine of my GS450. I want to replace most of them with stainless steel, but I was hoping to buy them locally at ace hardware and not Z1, especially since Z1 has three kits for the 450 and I still don't know what submodel my bike is. Also, their kits have 64-67 screws and I can only think of about 50.

    I want to confirm that these numbers are right before I buy anything, it's what I've found so far.

    Carb intake boot screws - M6 x1 x 20mm
    Case cover screws - M6 x 35mm (Do I need to match countersinks on these with the old screws? I know they're different lengths but I'm planning on taking all of them to Ace to replace)
    Exhaust bolts - M8 x 35mm

    I still need the size for the magneto cover as well. I'm assuming everything else I need (oil pan, starter motor cover, valve cover, etc) I still have so that I can just take it into Ace and find a match there.

    Is there any kind of wiki on here with a compilation of dimensions of things like this?

    do you have this thing all apart, or are you just ambitious,bored,etc. Personally, I'd replace the screws as I was changing the stuff behind them.

      Oh man, that's great, thanks. I've been using BikeBandit and they didn't give any sizes. I'm rebuilding the engine, and I'll be replacing any screws that I take out, although the bolts on the valve cover look good to me.
