    Hi everyone, I am putting a new head gasket on my Jet and bought new bolts, they are the correct size, 7/16 14 x 3 inches , grade 8--The head on the bolts I bought take a 5/8 wrench, the ones that came out are 3/4. Did I get the wrong bolts? Can I buy bolts that have the bigger head? What should I do? thanks, Dave

    They are the same head bolts as the larger sixes (232/262/308)
    If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
