Im gonna need lower intake-head bolts for a 4v if you got any of those laying around. Gonna try to put rockers in tomorrow and hopefully timing cover if the bolts show up. Picked up some motor mounts and new front cover gaskets yesterday so we should be ready to go.

No way. Too fat and probably not long enough... but you could be right. Ill check it out tomorrow.

My tractor supply down the street doesnt carry metric grade 8 bolts so ive been using the 8.8 silver steel bolts.

8.8 metric is like grade 5. But still about 120k psi tensile strength.

The pan bolts fit my heads perfect for the lightning intake. Not sure how thick the navi intake is though.

With the sleeve on the bolt does it still allow enough to tighten the cop all the way?

Word of advice, only hand tighten those bolts. There's no need to wrench them down. Infact the Weapon X coils don't even have a place to bolt them down.

Do you have any experience with the weapon x coils? They make some pretty hefty claims.

That's crazy, they always feel like they just flop around before they are bolted down
Edit: nevermind I was thinking of the 2V
