Head bolt placement

[rompii]

I did a stupid thing and chucked all my old head bolts in a bucket as I replaced them with new ones
Now I have 3 sizes of bolts and only know where the short ones go
Have no clue where the mid size and long bolts go
Help
I feel like a numpty

Try all the long ones first followed by the medium ones. Assume it's a v6 as v8's are all the same.

I bought V6 head bolts and I thought they were all the same length. It was years ago, so with my poor memory I could be wrong.

V6 sorry

Just looked online and the kit stipulates two lengths. I was wrong and shall remain quiet now.

All sorted guys
Trial and error wins out
Short ones go outside mid ones go to front and rear long ones go in the middle
Cheers for your quick responses
