Hi Ernest this is LARRY TRAMEL I bought the engines from you, I need to know about the 120 hp engine I too at the oilman off and found some metal in it ands I decided to disassembly it to find the problem.  I saw where something had. bounced around inside it but did not fine any broken parts. I was wondering if you had repaired it before and removed and replaced any parts prior to my buying it. If so what part was it? and if not I guess I will split the case and do a complete teardown. Your help would be appreciated .Thanks

Order them from ZAC.  You might pay a few extra bucks but in the run will save you a ton of headaches tying to source exactly the right nut, bolt and washer.  When you finish the the project you will never  it again.

If you are concerned about them being a little short go up one size.  It won't hurt anything.  I used what came with my kit though.  I don;t remember a counter sunk washer but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.  However, all bolts were long enough with about 2 threads sticking out of nut after torquing.
