Manifold bolts

[TORQUE THIS]

When installing the ATS manifold, why can't you reuse the stock bolts???

 

[BillGotthelf]

Mostly cause they are rusted and look ugly. Also they have gone thru a couple of thousand heat/cool cycles and have probaby lost the ability to hold when torqued down. Oh yea on my 99 I had to reuse two of them cause I could not get the allen wrench on them.

TORQUE THIS,You can reuse your bolts and spacers in the outer positions on your year truck but not in the center due to the shape of the runners. On the 03/04's all the factory spacers and bolts are reused. Hope this answers your questions.
