Exhaust Manifold Bolt Size 96 S10

[JASilva]

This is something I would go to the dealer for. I need to know the exhaust manifold bolt size for a 1996 S10 2.2 engine. It seems the front bottom bolt has decided to vacate the premises after 230,000+ miles, and I want to install a new bolt as I have this nasty exhaust leak.

Thanks!

Don't know the size, but, you may want to check and see if the bolt is actually gone, and not just broken off. If just gone, try to remove another bolt and go match it up. Careful though, some exhaust manifold bolts are wet bolts.

A dealer is the LAST place I would get those bolts from. Why pay $8 a bolt when you can get them at your local hardware store for 1/4 that?

@ Doug_scott, what's a wet bolt

A bolt hole that is a direct shot to the water jacket - in other words, when you remove the bolt, coolant pours out. The new bolt needs RTV before installing.
