johngreen537 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 As long as the engine 'series' is the same mate, you should be fine. I would change gasket, but bolts are fine to re-use, just put a little bit of copper slip on the threads when you bolt them in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johngreen537 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Just make sure you use a single hex socket mate, better for the rusting nuts as it won't round them.All the manifold's I've changed, I've never snapped a bolt, just make sure the not over torqued!
