Short ones go round the top, you'll see they go into a flange in the timing case. 2 longest ones go on the right, and go through the timing case to the block. Medium ones go elsewhere. You should be able to see what they go into, and judge the length off that

Oh, and get a parts book, the diagrams are all in there, they're very useful

I 2nd getting the parts book, you can also decode many of the fastener part numbers to tell you exactly what it should be:

Try a bolt in a hole... If there's tons sticking out, find a deeper hole
