alrite lads

my mate is on with a ZVH conversion, its pretty much finished now

just waiting for the headbolts, he has got some now but they have sent him the wrong size, they are too long

does any one know the correct size the bolts are meant to be?

cheers

 

Is this for Gloria

 

when i was doing my ZVH, i had 150 long head bolts

 

yeah it is davie, theres only him that could buy the wrong ones in the first place lol

cheers twinkle,

anyone else confirm?

 

is that including the head of the bolt twinke?

 

no, the measurement is taken from the bottom of the head of the bolt to the end of the thread.



standard CVH head bolts are 135mm long, and for a ZVH you need 150mm long.

you will need to get the right grade of bolt as well tho, i used 12.9 grade bolts which where the allen key type ones, you can get them from Burton for about Ł30 the set, or do what i did, go to your local nut and bolt place, i got my set for Ł8.50 the lot and my mate had the burton ones and there the same bolt made by the same people.

 

thanks twinkle for that! its for rayner

think ill post this up on escortrsturbo.co.uk for him

he says hes already got 150mm but they seem too long n just bottom out

 

yeah you need 150mm for definate.

can get them from burton part # CV191HDL

 

have you used the washers with the head bolts...

or you could have fluid (ie oil water) in the threads and its hydrolocking, if there is your bolt could end up like this...

 

cheers guys
