5.7 manifold / riser bolts

[torombolo]

Hello everyone, I took out the manifold and riser of my (2001) 5.7 bolts are not bad but would like to replace all manifold and riser bolts. Is there a fast shipping place That you could suggest? Locally they are not readilly available.

Thanks in advance for any help

I recently got some large 18-8 Stainless bolts from McMaster-Carr. Came in less than a week.

You don't use stainless steel bolts on manifolds or risers.

Pardon the ignorance, why not SS bolts? Heat? Expansion or something?

Thanks

Stainless isn't as strong and the threads like to gal easily. McMaster is a great place and their app makes ordering easy and a fast ship. The Barr manifolds and riser I recently installed came with zinc plated grade 5, no sense paying for stainless to hold two pieces of cast together.
