Hey so taking my thermostat housing of my OM617 I busted 2 of the bolts. Confused And will need to drill the busted ones out. Can i just replace them with run of the mill bolts? Or are they some sort of special kind?

You're lucky, up in Canadia you have metric stuff in every hardware store! Regular bolts will be fine, add some neversieze or grease to them. If you're loaded($$) use brass studs with mild steel nuts.

I had broken off 1 or 2 of the original stock bolts, they came out pretty easy with a screw remover or something as I recall.
To be clear, the bolts I broke were the ones that hold the 2 halves of the housing together.

Rusted out beat down 300d turbo 82' -- RIP
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'
