Rebuilding the motor. Cam mounting bolts? I went to a dealership and bought more. They got misplaced when I had the heads done and the block honed. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. I'm a newbie trying to make my way.

Sounds like someone has a can of bolts sitting there and doesnt remember where they all went. Thats why its always recommended (and so important) to bag up everything, label it and have it in one place as you disassemble....

I highly doubt there is a "bolt diagram" anywhere. Best bet is to post pictures of what you've got questions of and someone will probably know what they are and where they go. As for missing bolts, maybe one of the guys parting an engine has them, or you may just have to buy another set at the dealer.

Thank you yes that's what happen. I'm usually good about remembering where everything goes, but I moved out of turn for a job and then got my finger crushed still waiting on another surgery. Truck has almost been sitting here a year. Rookie mistake. Life happened and I didn't prepare for it. I hope to do better next time. Majority of the bolts are accounted for and yes most are all in a box together.

I did this. Worked great till the bags got torn and now I have a pile of miscellaneous bolts and studs I need to figure out that go where lol.

Canadian ziploc are made from baby seal stomach. They don't rip.
