It was listed as an advisory on my last service, I stuck my head under and spotted some deformed cheese looking bolts. So will add this to the next garage visit.
I don't want to go the Porsche route on these as they are made from butter, but I think I need 'A4' or '316' grade stainless as they
Attached I have circled the bolts I think I need but I need help with:..
1) Are the bolt sizes I have correct? What heads do they have? (Hex head with flange?) and are they all fully threaded?
2) Are all the nuts just M8 locking nuts (presumably the all metal version to stop them melting) I have seen 'binx' mentioned elsewhere.
3) Are there any other bolts I should change whilst down there? DeMort suggested not changing the manifold bolts due to grief levels.
4) Do you change the gaskets at the same time, or just leave them?
5) Where do you get your bolts from? I have seen trfastenings and accugroup mentioned.
I am betting one of these guys haven't made life simple by producing a simple kit for 997's !
