970subaru Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 probably a good thing to have if you are tearing into an engine. on legacycentral there is a link somewhere to PDF files of the FSM's. not quite complete but it should have what you need. search around, I dunno where they are.

idosubaru Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 i HATE those kinds of bolts. anyone ever replace them with normal bolts. i guess no one would typically mess with head bolts. if i ever have to go that far into an EJ22 i'd want to put something else in there, i hate those things.

nipper Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Odd i have a full socket set that fits them They are a commone socket that can even be bought at sears. The advantage to the bolt is less stress when tightening on the bolt, and a more even force on the bolt head. You may change them out, but why? They did their job very well for thousnads of miles, why chance it for something hoepfully you only have to do once. Would be easier to find the right socket then the right replacement bolts. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
