    The document provides information on bolt grades and torque specifications. It identifies that bolts are graded based on the number of marks on the head, with more marks indicating a higher quality grade. It recommends using at least grade 5 bolts for automotive applications. Over-tightening or under-tightening bolts can cause issues, so the torque specs provided should be followed depending on the bolt size and thread type. Tables show the identifying marks, strength ratings and recommended torque values for dry and lubricated bolts from grades 2 through 8.

    BOLTS AND TORQUE SPECS

    Always use the proper grade fastener. You should use at least grade 5 fasteners on almost
    everything automotive. Bolts are graded by tensile strength and are easily identified by
    the number of slash marks on the head of the bolt. The more marks the higher the quality.
    Hardware store bolts with no markings on top are usually soft, mild steel, grade 2 quality
    and should be avoided like the plague.

    Another thing to watch is torque specs. A bolt that has been over tightened can be just as
    lethal as one that hasn't been tightened enough. A bolt that has been tightened beyond
    recommended torque specs can easily break in service. Also, keep in mind that torque
    specs will be less for bolts that have oil or lubricate on them than for clean, dry bolts. Use
    the following tables to determine bolt grade and torque specs.
