Hi

I hope someone can help!!

After recently having my M42 valve cover blasted and powder coated I am reassembling my engine and was putting back the plastic breather panel on the inside with the brass bolts. It would seem that the blasting has damaged the small M4 threads in the valve cover making the bolts very tight, in my haste I have sheared off a couple so need to drill out and retap or helix oil. However I cannot find the bolts anywhere on RealOEM! They are not in the valve cover page.

Any advice would be welcome please.

Thanks

Ben
