Author Message   Dmac Posted on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - 06:43 pm:        Is it ok to use the head bolts after they have been removed?X1 2002   Buellistic Posted on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - 07:06 pm:        There is no reason you can not as they are not stress bolts as on some vehicle engines ... The secret is applying the correct amount of anti-size compound on the correct places on the INTERNAL THREAD SCREWS(stud caps) ... "AND" torque'ing them correctly !!!   Stev0 Posted on Thursday, July 11, 2013 - 07:17 am:        No problem whatsoever... My race sporty had the heads of maybe dozens of times with no issue with the bolts/nuts. Studs on the other hand can be replaced while it's apart if you're going larger bore and higher compression.
