2.0 connecting Rod bolts and head bolts?

[gungfudan]

I can't seem to find new head bolts and connecting rod bolts for my 88 2.0L.

Can you just use the ones you can get for a 2.3L?
Or maybe some one know where I can get them?

You use any 2.3l connecting rod bolts and head bolts

Pistons and rings were the only difference between 2.0l and 2.3l, in '88 cranks main journal size changed but connecting rods stayed the same

The head bolts from the 2.0 and 2.3 are interchangeable and can be used many times over. Every time I swapped heads I'd scavenge the best looking bolts (black shaft and head with clean threads) and never had a problem with head sealing.

If you have a local yard and need some you can take them from the 2.3...if not then maybe check ebay...

I tried searching but can't confirm the same for the 2.5...one website said they switched to the TTY style but Rock Auto shows them as the older non-TTY style.

Thank you.
