Title: stretch bolts?
Post by: Jimbo550 on October 12, 2012, 04:54:18 PM

Hello all.  Just started a rebuild on a 550f1 and cant find any info on the cylinder studs and con rod bolts.  Are they stretch bolts that are single use or can i get away with using them again?

They are not stretch bolts so can be used again
