how do you figure its not a toyota bolt?..the lack of captured washer is my bet....and that was found IN THE PAN along with the matching bolt..in neer similar condition except not polished and worn enough to let go of the captured washer..but worn neerly identicly just not bad enough to let go of the washer

also...NO ONE has EVER been in the engine..wife bought it new..it had only been shaken down after coming off the boat and its ALWAYS rattled...and shes been told various excuses as to why....no dealer ever even had it long enough to crack it open...and outside of quick oilchanges no one besides the dealer and me have ever turned a wrench on it....i know its ENTIRE life history

i should ad that this was when the canadian dealers couldnt keep em in stock...she was on a waiting list for ones coming in.....and had 3 choices of what was on the next boat that wasnt pre sold, red auto, white 5spd, or the blue auto....she took the blue auto and recieved it about a few weeks later when it showed up



ill have more pics tommaro...and ill get you the vin..as well as more pics of what came out in the pan and several flushes
