Hi to all,
Ok let's settle a interesting feature of WWII jeeps. How many of us have "EC" or "TR20" oil pan bolts and how many of us have the recessed type oil pan bolts. Which ones are correct? If they are correct are they correct for a slatti. My engine came with all "EC" bolts but I have been seeing a lot of pictures of WWII jeeps on the Internet with recessed bolts. Is this a later war thing?

Of the two seemingly intact SGW engines I've handled, one had recessed bolts only where the belt shield attached and AA everywhere else. The other had all AA (with one rogue TR20).
I honestly don't know what is correct for this application. I don't consider this a sufficiently broad sample to make a declaration that they should be AA (But thats what mine is going together with).

I believe Ford used recessed head bolts on the pans too, but not sure when nor if it was a monopoly.

Re: Slat grill Oil pan bolts
Mine were standard TR20 marked bolts. I have a later engine in the 124xxx range and its oil pan bolts were TR20 marked as well.
