Which engines share the same part# for Head Bolts? Where is a good source for Head Bolts? I would like to replace the Rocker Assembly bolts as well.

Thanks

Bill

Bill, did you post a similar question on IsuzuPup.com? Actually, asking what other engines used the same bolts? If you'll contact JLEMOND over there, he should have the bolts you need.

Answered most of your question on isuzupup.com
headbolts.com is a source, about $60 a set. JLEMOND I think is going to the Alabama Trooper meet this weekend, might not have time to ship before then.
Curious, why do you need to replace the rocker shaft bolts on a newly rebuilt head?

Upon, torquing the Rocker Arm nuts before adjusting the valves, the threads on two (2) of the studs let go. After close inspection, the stud threads looked horrible. They were rough looking from the blasting/cleaning. I did expect new studs on the new head. I called the shop in Missouri telling them what had happened and he said that the valves were adjusted and that I did not need to have done that. There was no information with the head telling me this, and the manual, says "Check the Torque on The Rocker Assembly" before adjusting the valves.

I removed the studs which do look good from the old cracked head and installed in the new head. Again, I was just trying to make sure. I will most likely re-use them.

I talked (PM) with JLEMOND at the end of last week, he was on the road then. He said that He was returning home yesterday. I hope to make contact with him this morning.

Thanks

Hi Bill.....I had to replace one of my head bolts several years ago and I was able to find the same length and thread from Copperstate Bolt and Nut in Phoenix. The new bolt did not have the hex head though. It was a 3/4 socket head. Seems like the price was about six bucks each. It's been working for several years. Don

In lots of years with LUVs I've never replaced headbolts. To my mind, even IF they stretch, since they don't bottom out it is not necessary. I do chase the threads, but I just grind a slot or 2 in an extra head bolt. Make sure to use compressed air to blow out the holes. There always seems to be some oil in them.

Thanks fellows, for all the help

Bill
