Bolt size

Dec 16, 2004 2 Replies

I have a '85 Nissan pickup. I wonder if anyone can tell me what size the bolts are the hold the exhaust manifold to the block? For some reason 3 are missing and there's a pretty bad exhaust leak. I've tried 8MM X 1.25 X 30, 8MM X 1.25 X 40 and 5/16-18. The 8X1.25 and the 5/16-18 start to thread in but stop after about 2 turns.



Auto Zone didn't have any other sizes that were close.



Thanks in advance for your help.

are they broken off inside?

Sure there's not a busted bolt in the hole?

You may need to chase the threads with a bottoming tap.

Pull one of the other bolts and take with you.

And is it indeed a bolt and not a stud?

Your Nissan dealer can come up with the RIGHT part.
