Post by seanc »

If you already have everything apart, just go for it. It's just extra insurance. You can never be too careful.

yeah man... just spend the 125.00 bux and get them now. Knowing that they are in there and doing their job is good insurance. The stock bolts are how old now?

Below is a pic of my main bolt that broke off after one torque. I don't remember the exact amount.. but it was NOT the final torque stage on it. :shock:

did you guys read the original post? He was asking if MAIN bolts need to be replaced. The one pictured above is a SOHC MAIN BOLT.
