Reuse of used cylinder − head bolts
Check
Before used cylinder − head bolts are reused, they
must be checked as follows:
Length
With each tightening, the bolts are deliberately
stressed beyond the stretch limit and each
tightening thus extends their length permanently.
Surface
The bolts must have a perfect surface, i.e. closed
phosphatisation and no rust stains.
Rusted or damaged bolts or bolts stretched be-
yond the maximum length are to be made unus-
able immediately
− e.g. by hammering the thread
− and to be scrapped.
