Exhaust Manifold Bolt
2000 f150 4.6L 4x4. Started to notice an exhaust leak and it turns out it is coming from the #1 cylinder at the manifold. I noticed one of the bolts was MISSSING. What size bolt (thread and length too) should I use to replace it? Also should I use Stainless or a graded bolt? Will a new bolt fix it or do i need to put a new gasket on it. I was hopping I could just put a new bolt on it and be done with it. Any help would be awesome.

Replacing the gasket would be the right thing to do. It's a pain in the ***, but well worth it. While you're under there you might want to check the other side and make sure they're all nice and snug.

Thanks for your help. do you know what size bolt to use? Also if I am replacing gaskets I might as well put headers on it
they come with mounting hardware. Can I put longtubes on it without reprograming or should I just stick to shorties? I added it up, with a tune and a new exhaust and longtubes it was going to be like $900
Might just go with coated shorties from pacesetter.
