Bolt size for ehaust manifolt to heads.
What are the bolt size for these bolts? Where can i get them at? I'm gonna fix a broken bolt and I'm gonna replace all the bolts on both sides so I need to know where I can get them.

Eh, depends on the place. Remember you want the metric equivilant of "grade 8"- and the metric equivilant is 10.9. 10.9 needs to be stamped on the bolt head.
When I dug those sizes up for us (a few years ago!), the only place that had the bolts in 10.9 strength was Pep Boys. Home/Hardware stores barely had any metric bolts, and if they did, they were stamped 8.8- the equivilant of grade 5- good for houses, not good for engines- and especially not good for exhaust work.
Make sure you also buy a tube of anti-sieze, and smear the stuff on the bolt threads before you put the new bolts in. It'll make them easier to take out next time.
