Proper Bolt lengths for Oil filter housing "screwed" up
So... I changed the oil filter housing gasket recently and I placed the different length bolts in order on cardboard. Wife comes along and kicks the carboard. Bolts everywhere. I thought I put them back in the proper places but the mechanic says maybe not because the housing is leaking even more than it was. Does anyone know the exact lengths of each of these bolts so I can remove and check them and re-order them if necessary? Or how can I find out?

Usually WIS provides the info.
Using WIS for my M113K show three bolts of two sizes plus one large (47mm?) hollow bolt used to hold the filter housing to the block so no need to know the bolt lengths. The water pump, however, is a whole new ball game; the WIS does show each bolt dimension and there are 16 bolts total of 7 different sizes.

You can access online at this point but I would download the zip file. Some are over 1GB zipped so you may need to use a non-Microsoft download manager (my Windows11 would puke at 1GB and terminate; my FDM pulled down the 1.2GB file for the E55 with no problem).
