exhaust manafold bolts

[jim hall]

My manifold nuts do not have all thick washers on them. the gasket is
blown out in 2 places - I am going to replace them. I ordered the green
high heat bolts from GM, do I need to try to get the large washers also
- - is there a source for these also.

The important thing is not to get bolts that are to long. You will end up
breaking off the cylinder head bosses in the center of the manifold. Be sure
and check. some back yard mechanics stick lots of washers on the wrong size
bolt and than the next person does not check and the result is lots of grief.
