Default I'm an idiot...

So, when I went to install my headers, I didn't want to use the stock studs, no room for deepwells. So I went to ace hardware, and bought 12 grade 5 bolts, and matching washers. Came home, installed the headers, went inside to take a break, and looked in a little box that came with the pacesetters. Yeah, there were header bolts. Will I be ok with the silver grade 5's, or do I need to remove them and use the ones included with the headers? Yay for finding out bolts were included AFTER I got the headers on.

hahaha music that sucks but trust me everybody has done that at least once. not surs if you need to use the ones it came with,just make sure you used lock washers other wise they will come lose all the freaking time and do not use paper gaskets.

The bolts you used will be fine, grade 5 is more than strong enough. As long as you got them on ok, then might as well leave it at this point. "Header bolts" are special in that they have a smaller hex head for giving more wrench clearance around the tubes.

As is what I saw, would've been nice to have when installing. I'm on to my next issue, the transmission.
