Can anyone tell me where these bolts might have came from?
I took these off while changing my bearings and it's been weeks so I have forgotten where they go.
smaller ones were accounted for but the big ones I am unsure. There is a 4th one just didn't have it at the moment of picture.

Con rod so I took a part essentially the whole engine but I have the 10 head bolts as well I'm almost 100%sure the 10 bearing bridge bolts regardless the color is different as well as size so hopefully that can't be the case as I have the oil pan and exhaust mounted again but 1991 Honda Accord ex f22a4

Try to find a diagram (one that shows the tear down) dealer should have pics, and identify that type of bolt, sometimes bolts have markings(ratings?) on the top and that can give you a clue.... i usually just go back and either find where they fit or take bolts out one by one until i see a similar one on that level(height/section) or part of the engine... you can always go to the junkyard and tear one of those apart until you find where they go

Yeah I'm going to the junk yard tomorrow to find a valve cover bolts among what ever other treasures I stumble across... The only clue I have is I'm also plus 2 brackets so they might have been used on those which I believe were connected to the front of the car to the metal piece or I guess the actual bumper that the plastic bumper is in front of. But that's the only guess I have. This was a project that spanned over a month. Wanted the experience but as time went on I got more and more careless taking off random things just to see how it all worked.

AC compressor bracket bolts?
What still needs to be reattached to the engine?
If you can measure the bolt shank size, use an open end wrench. If they are large they are either 10 or 12mm.
ALT bracket, AC bracket, Bellhousing bolts are in that size range. With teh washer I'm thinking brackets. I don't recall the bellhousing having any washers.
Verify the lengths are indeed the same, there are a few of those larger bolts that are only 5mm different between them.

The heads of the large bolts are 14 the smaller 2 have been accounted for. The issue is I have everything reattached the only thing opened is my timing belt housing as I just changed the belts and water pump and crank seal. Pistons conrods are on bearing bridge oil pan/screen exhaust/intake Manny airfilter, head/rockerarm assembly dizzy. I just have the alt and power steering pump off as well but the bolts are to large for any hole in those brackets and actual parts. There is 4 all are uniform with one another. With no nuts that I've seen capable of fitting threads. I am at an 100% loss on any idea where they possibly could go.
