The MPI Automotive BOL04 is a single header bolt, M8 x 1.25 pitch with a 3/8in head and a 25mm length, listed for LS-engine and 5.7L Hemi-style fitments in the Holden Commodore. It is sold individually as exhaust hardware, the bolt that fastens an extractor or header flange to the cylinder head.

What is this bolt and where does it go?

The BOL04 is a single header bolt for the flange where the tubular runners meet the cylinder head. It is M8 with a 1.25mm thread pitch, has a 3/8in head for the socket, and runs 25mm long. Buying singly suits topping up a set or replacing one that has stretched or seized, since header bolts work in a hot, vibration-prone spot and are not meant to be reused indefinitely. The bolt has no effect on flow or sound on its own; it simply holds the exhaust hardware to the engine.

What do the M8 x 1.25 and 25mm figures mean?

M8 x 1.25 describes the thread: an 8mm shank with 1.25mm between thread crests, the size these LS and 5.7L applications use. The 3/8in head is the tool size, and the 25mm length is how far the bolt runs through the flange into the head. Each figure has to match your head and header, because a bolt that is too long or the wrong pitch will bottom out or fail to seat the flange against the gasket.

Will it suit my Commodore?

The BOL04 is listed to suit LS-engine and 5.7L Hemi-style setups in the Commodore. Bolt fit comes down to the exact head, flange and header you are running, so confirm your build with the workshop before ordering rather than going by the model name alone.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits extractors and headers in-house across the Illawarra, and the right bolt like the BOL04 is part of doing the job cleanly. We torque header bolts evenly so the flange and gasket seat without leaks. Supplied by MPI Automotive at $2.21 AUD; tell us your engine and header and we will confirm the bolt is correct before booking the bay.
