Title: Head bolts
Post by: Jezza-7 on June 21, 2011, 09:16:49 PM
If you try order these from vw they are on back order and could take up to a month to get them.

So i gotta re-use my old ones.

Usually okay for 3 pulls- reasonable practise at work to re-use them once, first pull is the when the mains are machined to the block, second pull on first assembly, final pull on a rebuild, then the bolts had enough.

Having said that they're usually replaced anyway. Just make sure the threads are clean  :)

Yeah will do. They were only in for 1 day as well so they have only had 1 use.
