Re: Reusing head bolts Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Sat, 29 Nov 2003 15:07:52 In Reply to: Reusing head bolts, Bryan [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 29 Nov 2003 14:03:49 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If you bought new bolts from the dealer, I wouldn't reuse them again because the new style bolt that they sell is of a weak nature.
If you still have the old bolts from when you took it apart the first time, you can use them instead since they are superior in strenght compared to the new ones and can take several retorques.
You can see the difference between the two bolts in that the new style are threaded all the way up to head and it has a loose washer.
The old style is threaded about 3/4 way and it's no extra washer under head.
