Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Sean Chapman on September 24, 2020
Whilst removing the exhaust housing from my Garrett GT28R turbo, the thread of the bolts sheared off and needs replacing.
It’s a blackened bolt, so I’m not sure if this has any significance? (heat resistant coating?).
My question is can I replace these bolts with standard zinc plated grade 8.8 or grade 10 steel bolts? Or do they need to be some kind of heat resistant bolt/coating?
Thanks!
Any zinc coating is a serious NO ( liquid metal -steel- embrittlement risk of stressed component like a bolt). The exhaust components can get pretty hot . Any standard steel bolting ( eg.chrome moly ) is going to start relaxing at 800 F, I think design temperatures are well above that. [relaxing comes at lower temperature than creeping]. I expect they are nickel alloy , there are a bunch so not worth listing them . And ,you only can get what is available in the automotive world, So you need to check with manufacturers or re-conditioners. Or , I can promise you that MP-35N would be great,Standard Pressed Steel , Jenkinstown PA , or Rolled Alloys . ...Just stick with manufacturer and reconditioners.
