Cylinder head bolts

Postby Billy balls » Wed Mar 26, 2014 6:45 am

What is correct length of the head bolts. What happens if bolts are left standard bolt length. (1/2" increments ) I purchased Grade 8 bolts from a area fastener supplier. Do they bottom out or extend further into water jacket?

Billy,
Like you and many others, I was asking the same thing about 5 years ago... this link should answer your questions:

Common question, searches should provide similar responses.
Good luck,
David
