Doing the head on 2004 zd30
After many hours of manual turning engine over to align gears I now need to secure the gears so that I dont loose the timing if I need to do more work than just the head.
Problem
The manual says locking/securing bolt is a 20mm long 6Mx1 thread which is just a standard size bolt but manual says to only use a Nissan bolt for this as otherwise damage may occur to idler gear.
Has anyone used a standard bolt, the only thing that I can see where there might be a problem is when I look through the hole (with mirror and light) is that the far outer hole is only about 4mm.
I am currently 100km from nearest Nissan dealer so any help would be appreciated
