KA24DE Intake Manifold Bolts

[jedc]

I'm trying to find some information on the intake manifold to head bolts. I tried to order them from my local dealership and they couldn't get them for me. They said they don't make them anymore or they weren't available. I can't find mine from when I took the manifold off. I figure if I knew the right thread, pitch and length I could just pick up some locally at a hardware store. Anyone have any recommendations? I need to drop my motor in this weekend guys.

junk yard, factory service manual, or call another dealership

ah, do you have some extra bolts lying around? Try to thread some of those on by hand, find one that works and take that to the hardware store...or use if you have a tap and die set use some of the taps. Thread those in by hand.

Without looking they are eithera 10 or 12 mm. the pitch will be anywhere from a 1.00 to a 1.75...I am guessing but I bet they are a 10x1.25

good luck

Thanks guys, I'm gonna try the junkyard. I was just worried about a couple of the bottom bolts that are a pain in the ass to get to. I will just try and pull the top and side bolts off two different cars to get all the ones I need.
