Questions & Answers

Why aren't the heads of the bolts graded 8? I placed an order for these, and now I'm worried. I'm not sure how to tell if they're in grade 8 or not. ?

The bolt is Grade 8 if there are six radial lines on the head.

How long are the theads on their own?

Sorry, I don't have a precise measurement; all I know is that I used them to install the flexplate on my 1976 454 Chevy and they worked flawlessly.

Selected User Reviews For Spectre Performance 4696 Flexplate Bolt

There was a flaw in one of the bolts
3/5

I should've just bought them from Autozone or O'Reilly's in the first place because one of the bolts in the package was cross threaded incorrectly, so I had to go buy a whole new package from Autozone just to replace one bolt. They were both the same price. If I had received a defective bolt, I could have returned to the store and had it replaced.

Do you really want to pull your transmission for the second time because it's made in China garbage? These bolts do not have a grade 8 marking, so they are not grade 8
3/5

I tested these with a file because I'm going to throw them away, and they're soft. I was looking at ARP and these came highly recommended; I should've known better. Amazon, you cheated me once more with your bait and switch tactic.

Bolts for the SBC 350 flexplate
5/5

For my SBC 350, I purchased a new flexplate and replaced the bolts that held it to the crank. Why take the chance of breaking old bolts when you can have peace of mind with these new bolts for a few dollars? These bolts are the right size, length, and have lock washers on them. Apply a coat of red loc- tite and tighten them, and you're all set. Insurance at a low cost.

WARNING - FRAUDULENT REPRESENTATION! WARNING: THESE BOLTS SHOULD NOT BE USED! I'm leaving this review because I want to help the community
3/5

I'm pretty sure the bolts in the package aren't Grade-A. Certainly not a Grade- It will not be able to hold the required 60 feet. lb. torque. Instead, as you tighten them, they stretch even more. I was relieved to discover that I still had the original GM Flexplate bolts. They are clearly labeled as Grade-. Strength: 8 (6 lines); I used the wheel to clean and polish them. They did their job the way it was supposed to be done; Torque was achieved almost instantly. AVOID THESE AT ALL COSTS OR YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN TROUBLE!.

Grade markings on bolts
3/5

Flexplate bolts are supposed to be grade 8 bolts with six marks on the head; however, these bolts have no markings at all, so I'm not sure if they're grade 8 or grade 1. As a result, I won't be able to use these bolts on my flexplate. I'll have to rely on my old grade 8 bolts to get the job done. A very concerned customer has signed.

When it arrived, it was undamaged and, contrary to other reviews, had no markings on it
3/5

Arrived, and true to previous reviews, there was no marking for the class. It's not something I'm willing to risk. You get what you pay for in this case. Simply go to Lowes and purchase a 7/16-inch drill bit. Get class 8 by using 20 thread, 3/4 inch. Make sure you have lock washers on hand.

It appears that these bolts are bolts

These bolts appear to be, well, bolts, and as far as I can tell, good value.
