Re-using head bolts

#1

Post by 240ZD »

Hello!


Can one re-use the headbolts on an LD28? If not, could someone crazy get a bar of grade 9 allthread in the right diameter and thread pitch, and cut it into head studs?

Thanks!

The LD28 head bolts are not torque-to-yield, and can be safely re-used.
