6.0 manifold question

[JuststrokeIT]

I'm putting my motor back together and was curious if anyone has the bolt length and spacer size needed for the 6.0 manifolds my old bolts I used in them before in the back kept backing out after every 10k miles I'm assuming because it wasn't clamping down enough without the spacers but maybe I'm wrong. So this time I want to try the correct hardware.

I don't have spacer length.

This is what I used for bolts:

6.0L Exhaust Manifold to Heads:
12-Point Flange Head Cap Screw:
Type 450 Stainless Steel, M8 x 1.25 Thread, 40mm Partially, Threaded Length, 170,000 Minimum Psi
96242A999

Turbo to UP-Pipes:

12-Point Flange Head Cap Screw
Type 450 Stainless Steel, M8 x 1.25 Thread, 25mm Fully, Threaded Length, 170,000 Minimum Psi
96242A999

Here's a picture of the spacers and hardware I used(Just in case your spacers are different).

Part# 3C3Z-9S425-AA - should be the OEM bolt for the 6.0 manifold
Part# 3C3Z-9A461-AA - should be the OEM spacer for the bolt.
I bought these thru Sunrise Ford a few years ago, the bolts were $0.96 each & the spacers were $0.52 each

Thanks guys looks like I'll order up some OEM spacers since I have the part # and head to fastenal for the stainless bolts I appreciate it

you can run the oem 6.0 manifold hardware will work just fine.

Welcome . The spacers in my picture are OEM, so you should be set if you go with a 40MM bolt.

Only reason I didnt and dont want to go with the OEM bolts is because i want stainless hardware so that a few years down the road if anything needs pulled i dont have to worry about them rusting in and snapping off

The factory bolts are designed specifically for use in high heat applications so they don't gall and seize.

Every 6.0 manifold I have ever pulled come off easy. Just use Orem hardware.

These guys got it. I just pulled manifolds off a quite rusty 06 and all of them came out quite easily. Bolts had never been touched before.

One thing that people don't understand about stainless hardware is the fact that it won't rust, but it will corrode. Just as bad as rust.

worse yet it galls up and siezes-then breaks.

and when it does break, cuz it still will, it's a real fuster cluck to get out
