Honestly, I don't dare to speculate. I had too much Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Anders: got message from Europarts re: head bolts, steveC, Wed, 18 Feb 2004 14:35:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
trouble when I discovered this whole mess several years ago with bolts stretching and almost breaking before I took them out and discovered the waist line right where the cyl head and engine block meet.
They didn't stretch at that little ridge you see on the bolt, they stretched right in the middle of the lower threaded part.
If these bolts originated from Saab, I would say to go with the lower torque specs. This is ONLY a suggestion though.
Good luck
Anders
