Sorry if this is somewhat off topic, but the smartest heads in the house are here, so I could use some advice. I am replacing the intake manifold gasket on a GM 3.1 v6. I have all the needed parts, except new bolts. I'm reading in some places that it is recommended to replace the 8 bolts that hold down the manifold. Others make no mention of this.
They are not highly stressed like in a cylinder head, so I would like to reuse them. They might be TTY bolts, but I'm not sure. This is a big job that I don't want to do twice.
Suggestions?
