It's Amazon. Lord knows they started off as G5 or G8 or whatever then the seller revised the listing. Not like it matters since they co-mingle inventory by SKU so if some seller ships in junk grade 2 or whatever then you have a chance of getting that. If you're concerned about what you're getting you should probably buy elsewhere or be prepared to test what you get.

I was super careful about that. Made sure it was 32 ft lbs exactly on all of them except the ones that are impossible to get a torque wrench on.

I approximate the torque on an unreachable bolt by putting the wrench on a torqued bolt and "budge" it, then replicate the effort on the unreachable one.

good idea!

Btw those amazon studs I posted are grade 8. Not sure why they're not more obvious on the ad.

Hey, does anyone know the specifications for the bolts that hold the Inline 6 intake manifold and exhaust manifold together? There should be two of them I believe?
