Nuts And Bolt Set
#21
Theres only so many types of bolts. I think my Haynes manual even has all the types litsted in front. I plan on just going to the hardware store and picking up new SS bolts of all IM bolts when I finaly get it all cleaned up. Will be a bit pricy but the bolts look like *** and are kinda rusty.

ss bolts cant be used anywhere, they arent that strong, grade 5 is
stronger then SS bolts, grade 8 even stronger.
I think what you mean is you want someone to supply
you with new bolts and tell you which ones go where.
Go to a GOOD auto parts store and get boxes of new metric
bolts. If you know a shop owner as them to hook you up
with the guy who supplies thier hardware, they normally have
a service that comes in and stocks all thier hardware weekly.
in the end, it would just be easier to clean what you have, a tumbler
or even a wire wheel on a bench grinder will work wonders.

Never hurts to try I guess...I have a pretty good relationship with the parts boys down at my local shop.( I don't just deal with the "clerk") So we'll see...If not, then I will find a way.

Haynes does not list the sizes of the fasteners either. LISTEN!
You're right...doesnt list the sizes...
I didnt say i was RUNNING out to get SS bolts..i just figured i would go buy a surplus of what i needed from a hardware store or car shop. but that was only if i could find the info i needed...

you would think that a company like atkins or pineapple, which probably needs tons of replacement bolts would have compiled a list of everything and then perhaps even a kit to sell along w/their rebuild kits. I'm suprised they havent, cuz it would def be worth some extra money to me, not to need to worry about being as careful.

Ok let me ask you this, are you looking for every bolt in the engine, or just the exterior bolts to make it pretty? I planned on doing a kit like this similar to the small block chevy kits, but I have not had anytime to gather up all of the bolts to do it yet

Basically either or....If there was a kit for "everything in the engine", it would be a plus, but if its only the exterior bolts, then that is just fine for me. I would get that, and then just replace the others as I went.
Definitely let me know if you want to make a kit, I would be in line...
Thanks
