Main bearing cap bolts??

[StephenZ]

Okay, I'm ordering up all the TTY bolts to put my engine back together and I can't find the cap bolts for the mains anywhere!! Are these some sort of secret special bolt that I'm unaware of? It's for the stock motor in my E3. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I assume reusing them is a huge no-no, as they're TTY...but, what's a guy to do?
Head bolts, rod bolts...all easy to order online...grrrr.

Where does it say they are TTY?

Aren't they? I just googled a bunch on the bmw motors and it seemed like they all said the head bolts, rod bolts, and mains were all tty...Is that wrong? I was starting reassembly and looked for torque figures when I saw all the tty talk. I really need to get some manuals...

Nice! Thank you for the info.

How about the rod bolts?
