Post subject:  head bolts

I have tried using the parts database and came up empty. I am looking foir a new set of bolts to hold the head to the block, and a new set for the exhaust/manifold (I am using clifford).

anyone know a good place to get new ones?

incedentally, I used to be able to find rod bolt information on the database, I beleive it was written by mr. dutra. I think the article is there but the information isn't in the database (see page http://slantsix.org/articles/ARP-studs/sl6-hardware.htm). seems odd to me.

anyway when saying that "Head Studs : 142 - 4001" does this refer to bolting the head to the block or the manifold to the head?

I remember seeing on a website it had Dorman part listing
for various hardware and it showed head bolts.
Try a google search for Dorman.

napaonline.com, 7/16-14 x 4 3/8" $1.69

Hrumm, 1.69 seems cheap for a bolt that large .....

I'd be willing to bet the Napa bolts mentioned are standard-duty bolts and are NOT intended for use as head bolts.

They were specifically labeld as head bolts ... I'm not sure what to say thats just what came up when I did a search by application for a 1985 truck.

For the life of me I can't remember where I bought my last set a few years ago.

Hmm, would a shoulderd grade 8 bolt work or is there something special about headbolts?

I was lookin the other day... O'Reilly has them for something in that same ballpark... I'm wantin to say it was a dorman part. It's not that unreasonable; the fel-pro torque-to-yield items for newer engines (like the 3.8 GM's) bring around $20 a set. If someone needs the dorman # I could find it.

Ok, looked up head bolts on a 75 dart. Came up w/ Dorman #675-121. According to the book they are 7/16-14X4.375" with a 1-1/8" threaded portion. Head size is 11/16" and they are not torque to yield. Walk-in price is $1.49 each, but the were not easy to get a hold of; only one of our (O'Reilly's) warehouses had them, and they only had one box (of 10).

As for manifold attaching bolts, Dorman 675-094 is great, just about an inch longer. They're not hard to get a hold of at all.
