i know that you should always replace head bolts when rebuilding an engine even if nothing was wrong with them. but what about the lancer's rod bolts? i was told they expand so you can't reuse them. anyone know?

 

bump, someone help me out

 

help :\

 

The rod bolts???

Are you talking about the bolts that connect the rod to the piston? Those are the only bolts I think you could mean.

 

I think he means rod to crankshaft. That's what they've always been as far as I know. You're thinking of the pins.

 

they said rod bolts, i think maybe connecting rod bolts? does that make sense

 

who said rod bolts?

 

mechanic

 

they will be fine just make sure to check the torque specs!!!

 

yea, apparently they werent torquing correctly, probably because they have been removed numerous times, doesnt hurt to get new ones, ready for the fastest auto lancer in the US? hehe, we shall see, i dont wanna speak too early
