hi peeps

so im getting together my parts ready for the rebuild. can anyone tell me where they source the head bolts from.

been onto locally shop and they dont list any. been onto nissan and it £9.90 x14 .

bit steep i thought. after all i can get them in states for $80.

steve

May I ask why you are replacing them?

well im not taking any chances this time

had heads skimmed due to oil in water . engine rebuilt and ended up with hydraulic lock as no.6 filled with water.result busted conrod or end cap. not sure as yet .looking friday.

so last time we reused old ones. turns out some same they are stretch other say they arent.

well second time around im not taking that gamble.

OEM bolts are not TTY. This information/debate may be of use:
