Just about to put the head back in my 2ltr Pinto, and wondering about the 10 bolts. does anuone know if these are vstretch bolts? they have a 6 six sided star fitting in the top. They dont have a narrow waited section like I would imaging stretch bolts would have? Or can I just reuse them any pros or cons appreciated?

Kev

hi yes they are stretch bolts

Hi, the early spline bolts are not stretch bolts the later torx ones are
burton pinto head bolts here
might be worth a call as when i built my coosie motor they told me a length to measure and also a torque figure if you couldnt reach the figure you had to replace the bolts
