Re use of bolts


Recommended Posts

Hi Chaps

What is the rule for re-using engine bolts,I have a TR4A and i am doing a engine rebuild.

Can you re-use the conrod and main bearing bolts?.If not what are the best bolts to use and who supplies them,i enquired about ARP bolts but i am told they dont supply them for the TR4. What other bolts are advisable to change.

Cheers.

Hi John,

 

earlier TR4 con-rod bolts can be re-used if new lock-tabs are placed. Later TR4 and TR4a bolts were "stretch" type, had no lock tabs (in fact lock tabs are a big no-no with these bolts) and are single use only.

 

Not sure re: main bearing bolts.

cheers

Adey
