ok cheers, yea they look still like new


DO NOT, DO NOT USE OLD BOLTS!, for the last month (or 3) my truck has been in getting some major work done. we reused the old bolts and had 2 snap puting the head on, and this was b4 we had reached full correct torque. Although it says you can reuse them they do stretch.

If you unsure of the engine before you owned it i suggest new. Headmaster in wellie can do a full set for about $150.

Nothing can bet the new bolt..as well as for the engine rebuild kits. Using the old bolts could snap while you're driving it hard.

finaly got my block back, had to get a second hand block, the old liners in the original had a wider lip on the top than the new liners so they couldnt use it, they brout it up from auckland for $30 the nite i asked if it was ready wich i thought was pritty gud, got the crankshaft and pistons in etc, just cant do anymore untill i get some new conecting rod bolts, the old ones keep stretching, would it be because its on its 2nd rebuild???

also what do people use as a wieght for tensioning the timing belt?

heres afew pics, sorry bout the quality, couldnt find my camera so cellfone had to do.
