Exhaust Manifold and bell housing bolts
As I reassemble my " Disco in a box" I find that the PO lost the Exhaust manifold bolts and the Trans bell housing to engine bolts. They both appear to be 3/8" coarse thread, do they need to be grade 5 or will hardware store bolts work. Torque values don't appear to be too high. Any Ideas Thanks Folks!
Go with grade 5 on bell housing and grade 8 on manifold. 33 ft/lbs isn't a whole lot but look at what they're holding so grade 5 is fine on the bell housing. Grade 8 on the manifolds is a personal preference because they're heat treated - handle high heat well. I use them on all my low pressure steam line connections at work not for clamping force but heat handling and reusability which is the key here.
