If you're talking about the cam thrust plate bolts they are 1/4 x 20 and 5/8inches long.
I don't know if you know this or not but you can't just use any 1/4 x 20 bolts. They are grade 8 and have a special machined head.

Don't forget to mount the thrust plate in the correct position unless you have the "idiot proof" type with the grooves on both sides.
