Headbolts?

[dannyt]

Where can the cheapest headbolts be found for a megane bottom end, 98 and an 1800 head?

Also which are the ones i need to use, williams, valver or megane?

I wouldn't get cheap ones if its a standard engine get OEM bolts.

IIRC £30 from GSF

[dannyt]

I don't mean cheap as in poorly made, I mean cheaper than £50 for a set of bolts!

Surely GSF's £30 ones can't be much better, as they are both just bolts?

[summeh]

lol

F7R/F7P bolts are the same.

20quid from GSF iirc. These will be fine.

They must be cos i swear the last time i did a head gasket the old bolts were longer than the new ones??

[Lunner]

Yeah they do stretch, hence the tighten up and leave for so long, and then loosen and re-tighten
