What Are They???

[~laser_craver~]

ok im rebuilding an old motor for a friend of mine... 4g63 of course an i was wondering if i can reuse his old head bolts and and stuff or are they stress type thing where i can only use em once and then i gotta get new ones....

It's suggested you buy new factory ones, or if you use ARP studs you can reuse them.

Don't use them over again, it is just askign for problems. For 100.00 bucks you can get ARP studs and they can be reused as long as they have not stretched past there service limit.

where can i get an entire set of studs for it because its got a few broke exhaust manifold studs and intake manifol studs and if i could just get a whole kit that would prolly be easier...

You can get the head studs from any DSM vendor.

As for the exhaust mani studs I would get them from our sponsor http://www.ssstuds.com/

There's at least one famous 9-second guy who thinks stock 1g head bolts may be better than ARP's. Other people do 30+psi on them. But, for 100 bucks for a new set, eh. 7-bolt bolts (2g's at least) are torque-to-yield, so no re-use on those at all.

Carquest here sells exhaust manifold studs for like a buck fifty apiece. Make sure to not use locknuts like the factory. Use lock washers and a nut. They don't break or turn out that way.

The manufacturer's picture book says to inspect them for stretch before re-using.

Use better thread titles.
