Re: Motor rebuild questions

["Craig Williams" <roccolister@hotmail.com>]

Chris,

The rod bolts must be replaced. THey are a stretching type of bolt, and can 
not be re-used because of that. A good rule of thumb to follow is to look in 
the Bently manual. If the torquing directions say to torque to, let's say, 
28 ft. lbs., and then another 1/2 turn. That means the bolts are being 
stretched, and should not be removed and then reused.

Rod bolts, and head bolts. Take 'em out and throw them away.

HTH - Craig
