Head Bolts?

Featured Replies

I'm in the process of having the head reworked and believe I should replace the head bolts when I reassemble. I have a 71 240 whith a L24 and E31 head.

I am having new valves, seats, guides, seals and springs installed so as to allow the use of unleaded without issue but am having questions about the head bolts. Since I can't find the factory originals - what mfgr should I trust? and is this absolutley necessary?

Thanks for any info avail.

MSA has both turbo and non-turbo versions. If you're rebuilding stock, non-turbo should be fine. Yes, you should replace them. Very cheap insurance!

If you look after market ARP makes a great bolt PM me this evening after work I can take a look in my bins I think I have 4 sets
