Default om617 head bolt lengths???

alight so ill give you alittle summary. I have a om617 motor swapped into a s10 and used as a rock crawler. I sank it in water one time sucked up water stalled lifted the head a blew the gasket i changed the gasket reused the original head bolts didnt know there was certain spots for the short, med, long head bolts i thought they were all the same.... well now my head gasket is leaking again can see it bubling out the head on the back passanger side. im gunna redo the gasket again and buy all new bolts. can someone tell me off the 22 head bolts which numbers are short, which are medium and which are long? thanks

found your thread because im bolting the head on my cherokee and had the same question.
well after going and getting a beer i realized, the ones that hold the cam down are the long ones, the short ones all go on the side near the injectors, and the med size are the rest.
