The Benefits of Performance Intake Manifold Bolts

An intake manifold bolt is used to secure the intake manifold to the cylinder head, ensuring a proper seal and preventing air and coolant leaks. When replacing or upgrading the intake manifold, choosing performance intake manifold bolts can help provide added benefits, such as added strength, standard hex or 12-point bolt heads, and durable finishes to ensure a long-lasting upgrade. In some cases, the original manifold bolts may also include a tamper-proof design, and this can require more effort or special tools during removal. Performance intake manifold bolts are often better suited for high-pressure environments than original equipment manifold bolts, and are manufactured to withstand torque better than factory bolts to ensure secure installation and prevent thread damage to the bolt or cylinder heads. If your old intake bolts have broken or stretched, or if you are installing a performance or aftermarket intake manifold to increase power and torque, consider installing performance manifold bolts during your repair or upgrade.
