Aisin TKT-021 kit came with extra bolts???

[CrackedManifold]

Ordered a timing kit for my 2005 LX and it came with a bag of 5 bolts w/ washers.

I don’t ever recall seeing these in the past kits nor are they listed on RA website.

What are these for???? Search functions shows nothing.

Replacement bolts for the water pump.

I just checked the same kit that I have in my garage and it also has the same bag with the bolts and washers.

That's what I thought; I was just more under the assumption it would of came with replacement nuts as well. Or maybe fan bracket bolts.

Thanks for the confirmation!

No fan bracket bolts, but when you replace your timing belt and water pump it might be a good time to replace your fan bracket. Depends on your mileage.

those bolts see extreme heat cycles, its best to replace them with the water pump
