question are grade 8 bolts the same as head bolts , some were some how I lose 4 and don't want to buy 20 . Everything I read says that you could use the grade 8 the psi on them is 160.000 ?

Yes I looked at a lot of different options and just thought buying for grade 8 bolts might be the way to go

Check with the local machine shops and junk yards.  You'll probably find some for free!!
