I apparently didnt log which bolts go where when removing the timing cover. Haynes manual has 5 studs and 10 bolts. K have an extra stud, shorter than the rest , and no clue where it goes. I guess , I just took all the bolts out and put in a bag labeled Timing Cover, but this one bolt just wanted to be special....


can anyone help?

While your is a 2002 and mine is a 97, it may not be the same but:
I have two bolt like that in the lowest holes in the timing cover (6 & 7 on the picture). One on each side. On the right side a little bracket holds the trans cooler lines and on the left there is a bracket that holds the remote oil filter hoses.
I think the remote filter hoses changed by 2002 so unless you have the oil filter right behind the bumper, you won't have the bracket on the left side.
