I agree with special-k on this.... We just put a new steam pipe kit on my sons
LS engine. It came with "stainless" bolts. The 2nd one he installed broke inside
the head with 5lbs of torque. We attempted to drill etc it out but was so hard
the only bit that would touch it was a carbide step bit.
We replaced all of them with grade 8 cap screws. No more CHINESEUM for me!
Hard to say what the heck they are really made of.
