ISome advice please? 'm having my '87 16v engine refurbed and am about to reassemble. I'm changing the head bolts as they are single shot, and con-rod bolts as they take a lot and are 30-odd years old. Do i also need to change the camshaft bearing bolts when I reassemble? Any others its wise to replace? Thanks for any advice
Always re-use cam cap bearing studs/nuts, personally. Obviously a good visual inspection first Jon Cleanliness is everything in engine building, everything
Personal preference, key item. I wouldn't want to lead anybody on this, but I have been known to re-use on my own engines. Again, IMHO Jon
...or on autodoc.co.uk or buycarparts.co.uk and their many other associated websites you can get Febi Bilstein bolts for about £3.84 and nuts for about £1.20. Granted the postage is something like £8.45, but it's still a saving and you might find some other parts you need on the website!
