View Full Version : Xe sump bolts - Are stainless ones upto the job?
Just off to get some new sump bolts and wondered are stainless ones up to the job? I know they are not as strong but wanted to know can they be tightened up enough to stop the typical xe/let sump gasket leak?
Thanks Graeme

should be ok but remember that you need to slight longer by about 5mm for the oil pump area
x12 @ 20 / 25mm
x2 @ 25/ 30mm
