HEAD INSTALL TIP: Go ahead and get the exhaust manifold bolted and torqued onto the head before you install the head which is nearest the firewall. Lot easier to torque the manifold bolts while off the car!
question about head bolts.
got my new fel-pro head bolt set. you got a bunch of the regular type bolts, one with a 1" round extenton coming out of the head (for the bracket that bolts on which the motor mount attaches to on the passenger front of the car.
One of these bolts has a thread on TOP of the bolt head... where does that one go? i dont remember this bolt, is it extra? I havent found all my old head bolts so i dont know if this is extra or not... in case anyone knows before i figure it out on my own....
i've viewed pics on google for lumina 3.1L's but didnt see any headbolts installed on the engine that has a thread on top of the bolt head.
the fel-pro pic doesnt have the pic of the bolt i am talking about but the rockauto kit does have it.. its the 2nd from top left. Is that extra just so this kit can be used on various 3.1L?
i see in the pic there is 15+ two specials... i am thinking that you use ONE of the top left two. = 16
GOING TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION: in my box of head bolts, there are 15 regular bolts, and these two specials... so only one is used. i was pretty sure i didnt see that double thread bolt as i was pulling the heads.
