I had a plastic bag full after I did the head...

Well, he does have another money pit on its way (the little slimy baby) He might need to consider the 4Door option..

Holy guys. I dont have any "what the fuck" bolts. I am missing a couple, (missing two of four little 10mm bolts that hold the metal timing belt shield things on, the first machinest that had my head only sent 2 back) but I know what where they went. That and I have a shit ton of exhaust manifold studs. I took my stock ones out and got all/most of the ones from the guy I bought the exhaust manifold from. I didnt use any of them though, I took a page from Garretts book and and running hardened bolts from the hardware store.

EDIT: EVO TIME!!! Makes me want to go impregnate someone, that way I have an excuse to buy a 4 door "family" car!

I usually don't end up with any WTF bolts anymore, but I used to get a shitload. And then as I would work on my car more and more, I would see all these missing bolts, so I sorta figured out where they all went one day and put them back in. I still have 3 coffee cans full of them though

I figure if it runs without them you dont need them lol

Damn right. Think of it this way... Weight Savings!

A while ago I asked about what to do with the fuckin exhaust manifold studs. You said you usually just used bolts from a hardware store... so I am as well.

Still dont know how people get a bunch of WTF bolts, its kinda funny though. 3 coffee cans full Garrett? I have a few extra, but they are on purpose. For example, the intake manifold stay and the timing cover. Fuck if I am going to spend that damn much time trying get a fuckin cover on, that bitch stays on by the 4-5 easiest bolt holes to get to.

Last time I had a WTF bolt was when I was 12 or 13 (I’m 22 now) I had one bolt left over after replacing the water pump on my Mom’s station wagon. Haven’t had a WTF bolt since.

Oh how I love WTF bolts... I have a whole box of them and I'm sure I'll find new homes for every one of them someday.
