hi guys, i was just wondering, are the rocker cover/camshaft housing bolts stretch bolts. do you have to refit new ones? cheers.

rockercamshaft cover top bolts - No

Cam housing/head bolts - Yes

The rocker cover bolts don't need to be done up massively tightly, over do them and you'll end up with oil leaking out of the cork gasket.

Head bolts should be replaced with new when removed. Some people don't bother, but since they don't cost much anyway, its not a risk worth taking.

new head bolts are an absolute must. Cam cover bolts are not even done up proper tight.. They will last forever.
