What grade bolts should I use for 1G DSM

[Vegas Smith]

Hello, I'm currently rebuilding a car I bought last year, and I am noticing that a lot of bolts on the engine are non-oem and different lengths than what they should be. I have access to all the bolt sizes to the car via the site's pdf file but I was hoping someone could tell me what material or strength to order. For example, I'll need to order a front engine mount bolt to slide through the rubber mount, but I don't know what grade/material bolt is best. Is there a good place to order up a bunch of bolts? Thanks for the help.

All your major bolts will be grade 8. Those are for the more clamping responsibility bolts. Smaller ones with less clamping responsibility will be grade 5. Hope this helps.

Are there differences in bolt material that I should think about? Thanks.

Not really. The grade means the quality of and the strength of the nuts and bolts. The higher the grade the better the bolt. That's mainly what you need to worry about. If you want to use stainless steel bolts and nuts for dressing things up you can.

Exhaust stuff should be OEM on the manifold with NICKEL antiseize for good measure. Just do grade 8 everything besides hot stuff. Its still cheap.
