English term or phrase: exhaust manifold to head bolts
Bonjour, je suis en train de traduire un gloassire de terminoologie electromecanique de l'anglais vers le français. Je n'arrive pas à trouver l'équivalent français de l'expression suivante "exhaust manifold to head bolts"
Ma tentative: "boulons de la tête (chapeau) de la tubulure d'échappement" mais je n'en suis pas tt à fait certain.

Merci de votre aide

disagree  Tony M: No, these are not bolts for the 'head of the manifold'! / Right, I see now! But where are you getting 'tête' from, then?

disagree  Tony M: No, these are not bolts for the 'head of the manifold'! / No, I've checked the Wiki article, and it is clear, accurate, and quite explicit.

  -> If you are right, the definition of "head bolt" on Wiki should in my opinion be adapted, for this is confusing.

Reference: définition de "head bolt"

Reference information:
Je ne vois pas la traduction de "head" dans deux des trois solutions proposées, alors qi' il y a certainement une définition de "head bolt" sur Wikipedia.

Example sentence(s):
  • It also conflicts with common usage such as the term "head bolt", which is a threaded fastener that passes via clearance hole through a cylinder head to mate with a tapped hole in the engine block and is not intended to mate with a nut

disagree  Tony M: (cylinder) head = culasse; this has nothing to do with 'head bolts' as such / 'head bolts' SPECIFICALLY means the bolts used to hold the cylinder head onto the engine block
