Morning,
Rebuilding a xflow, do people reuse the mains cap and head bolts? Guessing best practice is to buy new but as they're not stretch and in good
condition I figure they'd be ok.
I will replace the rod bolts with the Burton heavy duty replacements as it's only a 1300.
Thanks!
Jon
If it’s a 1300 and not highly tuned or revs above the standard red line, I would consider using the old bolts having carefully checked them for any
damage.
Rod bolts are always worth replacing and I only use ARP as you can use them again and again
Re-use the head and main cap bolts, fit new big end cap bolts....
As above ^^
Ive always reused the head bolts and mains bolts, on all my xflows, and probably a lot more than I should
But I do like to keep a record of what ive done to either engine, and the conrod bolts have been replaced on both engines
Cool, Thanks that saves a few quid.
Jon
