In the process of troubleshooting oil flow, I removed the oil pan to ensure all good with the pump. While re-installing the pan, I got to thinking some folks may have forgotten where the different length bolts go.  So I put this together in a Word Doc.  Don't know if it is already available but thought I'd share.  If the moderators deem it should go somewhere more easily accessed, feel free to move it there.

A practical alternative to buying new, IMO:

ebay.us/m/GJpIZs

I actually bought one of these sets from him.  Mostly all are in okay condition, but I was able to see discernable wear (thinning of the bearing metal) on a number of the bearings.  Given all my work in the engine, I'm going to bite the bullet and install new OEM ones from Japan.  I concur that this would be a viable option for some.  Thanks for the input!

What does a 16-piece genuine Kawasaki set from Japan cost now, with shipping and added fees included?

🤔
