Dorman 03218 Exhaust Manifold Hardware Kit for Compatible Models Review

Although Revane says it won't fit my 2004 Grand Cherokee 4.7, it actually does. I was able to tighten the spec and didn't see any issues. Hopefully it holds up better than the OEM who loves to break.

This stud will only hold ONE exhaust manifold. Last time I checked, Vee engines had two exhaust manifolds. Yes, they work, but they are not ARP hairpins. They are overpriced. Time will tell if they break like the series.

Fits perfectly on my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L without HO engine rebuild. The Haynes manual states that 18 ft/lbs is the torque specification for all bolts (black fasteners). The Haynes manual states that 72 in/lbs then 45 degrees loosen is the torque specification for heat shield nuts (silver nuts). The useful life has not yet been determined.

I ended up building my own hardware kit using 10.8 hex head screws that were 1/2 inch longer to accommodate 10.8 spacers for heat shield clearance from the manifold. I think this is more of a rugged design than OEM. 5 stars because we match OE exactly, plus 1/4 the price of kits at local auto parts stores. I like to keep these for the future to replace existing bolts so how they are breaking .

Purchased driver's side hardware kit for my wife's 2006 Dodge Durango 4.7L. There was a leak in the exhaust when cold, but that went away when it warmed up. Knowing I had to do this on the passenger side exhaust manifold about 4 years ago I ordered a set of these and they worked great. Luckily the bolt on the exhaust manifold broke, not the head. All screws and gaskets replaced in less than an hour. Was very happy with the results.

. However, I have a 3.7 liter engine, but I knew about it when I bought the product. If I could find a similar kit for 3.7LI I would buy it. However, two more spaced bolts and four main hex bolts can be used on the 3.7L (the other two bolts are one-way bolts). The previous owner snapped two strut bolts so one of these kits along with my existing bolts was enough to use the best of the set to reattach my two exhaust headers. Seems like a lot of money for a couple of screws. and I'm sure you can…

Worked on a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7L but note washers are not included with this kit. The correct kit comes with thick black washers, but only comes with 4 bolts per set and costs a lot more. I bought a used "like new" set with all 8 screws for $13 and bought myself washers. The other two kits would cost me $80 to get 8 bolts from my local parts store. ($60 on Revain.) Note. The original bolt washers are too small to remove from the old bolts. Don't miss the threads. 2 of my bolts were broken on…
