Afternoon, could someone please inform me whether or not these are the correct head bolts for a 2wd head and 205 block.

you need to make sure they sell you the correct ones. the ones they sent me werent correct and therefore Mark from MAD wouldbnt let me use them. They werent a proper stretch bolt They need to have the correct part number on the head of the bolt. Be careful

Have just noticed to my surprise my saff actually has a 200 block rather than the 205 i was expecting! I dont have any receipt of this or anything.

So the question now is, are the bolts the same for both blocks?

and in addition to that, i persume i now have the option to long stud, but is this really necessary as im looking to run around the 350bhp stage 3.

Cheers.

There are 2 tyres of standard head bolts, ones for early 3dr heads and then the later type. I would be 90% certain you will have the later type if you told them it was for a Saph.

No real need to long stud for 350bhp either.

i think the bolts are the same from memory; IMO you dont need to long stud for stage 3; others may disagree

although as with most cossie you will eventually want more power so why not future proof yourself and longstud it?

i think reyland charges about £75 per stud, supplied, and machined
