4v Rebuild Bolts
- Thread starter E2Dac
- Start date
all of the tty bolts need to be replaced:
crank bolt
cam bolts
main cap side bolts
make sure that if you take the cam towers off of the heads that you use a tq wrench that reads in inches not feet. they only take 8 in lb before they break.

Depending on if you have 10mm bolts I strongly recommend arp. I manage to brake one but imagine if I used a stock bolt. I woul use arp everything personally but this Is your own discretion
x2. I also retapped all bolt holes in my heads and upgraded to grade 8 bolts instead of the piece of shit bolts they come with stock
I agree with you, spinning 7,000 rpms on just a stock motor not considering those who push for more is scary with those bolts. I heard of quite a few breaking from local hot rodders with mod motors.
