i was switching out my injectors while doing my s-trim install and noticed theprevious owner put in a plenum spacer. looks to be 3/8" but i am not sure, i will have to measure it.

as i was torquing the intake down, the bolt broke. lucky for me it didnt snap completely and it came out in one peice. looks like a low grade bolt u get from home depot or somthing. should have just got new ones to begin with.

where can i find the correct bolts to use that are like the ones from the factory.

While you're doing it, might as well replace all of them!

I'll give you a call coming this week about getting/picking up the injectors.

Send me your Paypal ID or if you just want me to drop some cash off when I grab them from your house. Whatever one works best.

If you have one of the bolts that came out, you can just take it to ace hardware and match it up to a nut to see what size it is. Then you can get some grade 8 bolts.

i do have them all and i was thinking about that but maybe those bolts were to short? i was torquing them down to 20ft/lbs like it says and the bolt just snapped.

i was thinkin that the factory ones would be better cuz they wouldnt need washers.
