Exhaust Manifold Bolts on 4 cyl Jeep

[59Bisquik]

Hi guys, this upcoming weekend a friend is coming over with a broken exhaust manifold bolt on her Jeep. Its a 1998 with the 2.5L 4 cylinder. Since I dont have a Jeep, what size bolt holds the exhaust manifold to the head? I want to make sure I have to correct bolt and taps to fix this.

50 views and nobody knows the exhaust manifold to head bolt size? Anyone???

Seeing as the 2.5 is the parent motor of the 4.0, I'd venture to say it's 3/8-16.

Thanks for the help!

on my yj its a 3/8 bolt. but you have to make sure its a heat treated bolt because of the expansion and contraction of the bolt, manifold, and head
