Review on πŸ”§ High-Quality ARP 4541503 Timing Cover And Water Pump Bolt Kit for Ford 289-302 Aluminum Applications by Brian Buck

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Most of the bolts were the wrong size

I had to replace the timing chain cover because it was leaking antifreeze on my 1996 302 Bronco. By the time these bolts arrived I had already removed the timing cover and water pump. The quality of the screws is excellent and I'm sure they will last a long time. My problem with them is that I only have to use 5 of the 15 screws that come with the kit. All other bolts were about 1/2 shorter to hook into the block. Based on the description "For select Ford 289-302 aluminum alloys" I thought they would fit my Bronco but apparently they don't. I gave two stars because I had to contact the manufacturer to see if they would fit or not, but I was in dire need of new screws and couldn't find any info online. These bolts are high quality so if they would fit they would be awesome but I have no idea which 302's they fit as they don't fit mine. I'm very disappointed that I spent $55 to only use 5 screws, but at least one of the screws I worked with replaced one of mine that rusted.
