intake bolts

[Michael]

Yes, i decided to clean out intake. Once i cleaned it all out and was replacing it, "snap". It was the last bolt that I was tightening. happy, happy, joy joy! does anyone know what the exact size and grade of the bolt? Also, I looked up the part# for the valve cover and plug seals at Autozone but it doesn't exist. It does exist at partsamerica.com. for like $94. is this correct or is there a cheaper place for this kit. It was the fel-pro kit. Thanks again!

Sorry to hear about the bolt. I get the impression that you weren't using a torque wrench. Always use a torque wrench.

You can get the Fel-Pro VS50378R seal set through AutoZone.com. Just look it up for a 1991 SHO in the engine external section.

you are correct. someone was using mine and I decided to just go ahead and I am wishing that I really didn't! Thanks I did find it at autozone. I still would like to know the exact size and grade of the intake bolts.

Which bolt? One of the 12 long ones, or one of the short ones?

You won't be able to buy a new intake bolt anywhere. Find someone in the classifieds who's parting an engine and get a new one and some spares.

one of the 12 long ones. that is the one that I need.

 

[Michael]

i need to find some soon. I am unable to drive her until I find any. So, if anyone knows where I could get some of the 12mm long intake bolts, please let me know.

There were a few intakes for sale from parts cars in the classifieds section here. If they can't help try e-mailing Josh at Sho Nut to see if he has any extra he'd be willing to sell.
