okay so i am doing a timing belt on 07 pt cruiser and we had complications with a customer. with out going into the whole story the job got put on hold for two weeks now and my boss threw all my bolts into a box on me. i have only been working in the shop now for 8 months and have done a couple ford timing belts but not any chryslers. i have re-remembered where every bolt goes shy of two sizes(length that is). there are four 8mm bolts that fasten the water pump to the engine block and another bigger one (like 15mm or somethin like that) that holds the cast iron bracket to the block for the upper engine mount. the ones i cant figure out are the 8mm that are long 8mm bolts and short 8mm bolts (4 of each and all black). so, do the long or short ones fasten the water pump to the engine??? i have looked all over identisux and cannot find a pic of them in the removal sections and i cannot find a parts explosion anywhere, please help. i hope i didnt offend anyone with the euphemisms used in the subject or the body of this plee for help….i honestly have nothing against chrysler in the least bit and i prefer to work on their trucks over most.

I’m not much help either. You might be able to tell by how far they sit above the component before screwing then in (length of thread engagement?)
Okay guys thank you for responding. i got around to the ole bruiser yesterday and have everything back together (after throwing on the timing belt, hooking up the sensors, and starting it to listen to her pur….more like a gurgle lol) short of serp belt, kick panel, and putting the right tire back on. I filled the the power steering and the radiator so they could sit over night (i have heard that the o ring in the petcock goes bad and want to make sure its still good). All this to be said I found out the short 8mm bolt fasten the water pump to the block and the longer ones fasten the UPPER AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD(ROTFLMAO) to the lower…….yeah had to pull my head outta my…….to see that. I did try to run the fasteners into different holes but the long ones did not fit into the front of the engine block….because they didnt go there. Thank you guys for chiming in though and i hope you have a sense of humor like me. College man, i will be sending your karma when the site lets me send another!!!!
