nwtech Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Finally starting my EJ22 build and ready to get started on re-gasketing the motor as well as new W/P and timing components, Ive heard that head bolt replacement is required while others say theyre not stretch bolts and is not required, any info, its about $100 for a set for both heads on rockauto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 No need for new head bolts on a 2.2 unless there is literally a problem with a bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 No reason to replace unless they're damaged. Just clean the threads and dip them in clean engine oil before installing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwtech Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 thanks, thats what I thought, they didnt seem to be stretch/ torque to yield bolts just by looking at them and the threads look fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
