You can not any old bolt, if it snaps you will have another problem. The bolt needs to be high tensile and that is why a car wheel bolt is ideal ;)

It was high tensile
DomP:
I've taken the rocker arms out to remove the springs that a previous owner had felt the need to fit, literally just cut up springs! Doesn't appear to be and damage caused
Trigger:
I am always shocked on a fair few engines that i have stripped and done an assessment report. Some have been complete horrors ;)
DomP:
Is there meant to be a small amount of side to side play in the rocker arms then? I assume that's what they were trying to alleviate.
Rotor off tomorrow hopefully then I'll be able to see tge extent of the wear a bit more, fingers crossed! Is there a point at which engine wear isn't salvageable, I might as well prepare myself🤣
Bryanj:
Yes, cranks are not regrindable and broken cases are a problem but i,m sure between forum members we can get most stuff
