I need some help finding two replacement bolts for the Balance-shaft assembly on my 2008 Sport-trac. I stripped both bolt heads (external Torx 10) in the process of removing the bolts from the engine block while preparing to install a new timing chain kit. Is this something only a dealer can provide as I’ve had no luck finding them online? Does anyone have a part number?

Yes its a dealer only part. They run around 14 bucks and are torque to yield so they should be replaced. Not sure about the part number.

Ordered the bolts for the balance shaft assembly as well as the jack-shaft front and rear... total came out to around $80 at the dealership. Part #’s are in the attached exploded diagram.
