Bolt size help.

[JMiller]

Ok i need to know the bolt size(thread, length, etc.) for the-

-Exhaust Header (Q.8)
-Intake Manifold(Q.8)
-Fuel Rail (Q.3)
-Timing belt Tensioner (Q.2)

This is on my Eclipse RS(420a) I need to put it back together(been siting for about a year) to get it out of the garage and those are the only things i need to finish it.

Thanks.

Would this information be available in an eclipse book?

I would assume that most of those are M8 * 1.25

There are two M8 thread pitches. 1.25, and 1.00..

You should really try to work with a dealer or someone who has a CAPS program. Those are all kind-of either unique or important screws. If you go to the hardware store to buy bolts, all of the 8mm bolts will have 13mm heads. All the 8mm bolts on my car have 12mm heads. Some places this is OK, and in others, it isn't. On the exhaust manifold, it's studs/nuts. Those are important. Regular 13mm nuts won't clear the manifold/header with enough room to get a socket on it, plus most special exhaust nuts, besides being 11 or 12mm hexes, are made of copper or brass. That makes it a whole lot more likely that they can be removed later. Those things are available from any go-fast shop.
Since it's a 420a, it's worth checking with a chrysler dealer to see what they can do. Maybe cheaper or easier.

1.50 tread on the exhaust and intake but iam not sure on the other ones

Thanks, I've ordered some bolts for the 420a from stivers lincon mercury before but it normally takes a while to get them. Are the bolt at Auto store made of the same material or better/worse material.

That CAPS program is great, thanks for the link.
