Gen V Head bolts
Gen V Head bolts Looking to do the DOD delete and I'm piecing the parts separately but cannot seem to be able to find stock GM head bolts. Anyone know the part # and where I could locate a set of stock head bolts for a LT 6.2?
Chinese Head Studs HI, the GM LS engine is designed to assembled ONCE ONLY.
The MAIN REASON for the TTY bolts.
This engine family was NEVER designed to be rebuilt !
The NEED for several changes are necessary.
One such change is to fit head studs, I sell a "china" stud kit @ $85.00.
The reason I am firm on this is that the block threads will "strip" on the third torque/rebuild.
The yield of my kit is the SAME as the GM bolt, NOT GREATER.
Another common problem is the rocker arm bolts, they too have a need for a "steel insert" in the head.
ALL racing AL block engines use studs in EVERY location.

Driver's side, front hole inside (under rocker cover). I think it's to clear the VVT junk under there?
