Did you guys ever re-cadminum plate your tension bolts?

I believe if you are going to use those stock T bolts, use them once and replace.

Agreed, unless you like coolant leaks.

we did it for the race car, oOoo shiny. i dont think the inside of the engine cares weather the bolt looks good or not

Out of curiousity whats the cost on that?

its like powder coating, they do it by the pound. that was something that paul had had done a couple years ago.



it really does look nice to redo all the little bolts and brackets and stuff, in the gold cad

What is it supposed to do to the bolt? Just make it shiney?

yep. you know how if you order a new bolt its that shiney gold color?

So everyone here who rebuilds their motor replaces even single tension bolt?

I think of it like a cylinder head, or a flywheel, I wouldnt dare reuse bolts on one.



Torque isnt too high for them, so i guess you could reuse them. But I wouldnt, new bolts are cheaper than another rebuild.
