Nuts and Bolts
 

I am installing a Atkins Street Port. As I do, I wan to replace the nuts and bolts. CAn you guys help me out here? I am looking for the most common bolt and nut sizes used in the engine. IE:
Water Pump Housing nuts
Intake, exhuast ect.....

Or, anyone know of a website with the info?
Thank you,
Chris

You don't need to at all. But you can if you want. They're all standard metric sizes. There really aren't that many bolts and nuts used on the engine, and most are either M8 or M6. If you bring your old hardware to a fastener supply, they can easily provide you with new...

orchard supply in the bay area normally has all the metric bolts you could need

Just get a wirebush for a drill. Put the drill in a vice on and clean them. That or spray paint them.

You can get stainless fasteners at any local fastener store. No point ordering them from anywhere.
