Nevada Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hey does anyone have a lead on these parts numbers or a substitute for the OEM part 800211050 Bolt-11x130x34 800211060 Bolt-11x116x34 I'm going to take the head off for head gasket job and need some new head bolts.

SuspiciousPizza Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The head bolts are reusable. Unless they have stretched or are damaged in some way. These bolts are an odd size. M11. Not exactly an easily accessible off-the-shelf part. Some modern Chevy's have similarly sized head bolts but I believe there isn't any modern production of these head bolts. If you do need some, search locally for a used engine. That way you get a lot of extra parts for a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushytails Posted Friday at 01:55 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:55 AM Two of your old bolts are probably crusty; just hit them on a wire wheel and re-use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydube Posted Monday at 08:22 AM Share Posted Monday at 08:22 AM Those are the wrong bolts. The OEM are M12 x 1.25 and extend about an inch into the block. Grade 10.9. Yes you can break them off at the block if you apply more than the prescribed torque. And the broken tip takes a couple of hours to remove. You reuse the old washers.

scoobydube Posted Monday at 08:24 AM Share Posted Monday at 08:24 AM the bolts on the front and back in the top row, can get water intrusions that both rusts the bolt and causes them to back out. If you caulk the holes above those holes, the problem goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted Monday at 05:46 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:46 PM 9 hours ago, scoobydube said: Those are the wrong bolts 800211050 and 800211060 are the part numbers in the Subaru Catalog, and is the only part number I see for EA82 cars. (I work in parts at a Subaru dealership). I never did take the heads off an EA82 car, in fact I scrapped many running ones in favor of an EJ22. So I don't claim to know the dimensions. But those are the correct part numbers. They are discontinued. But my parts locator shows Nelson Subaru in Martinsville, VA having 5 of the 060 bolts in stock. If that's accurate, they'd probably be tickled pink to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted Monday at 09:26 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:26 PM Nevada’s numbers are 100% correct as verified, and the parts catalog I had is a 1985 and YES the dimensions are mentioned and OP is correct, So now you face the limited supply issue. Get what you can. One tip has been offered. If our good old buddy Numbchux has time or if you can have your local dealer’s parts counter person do the same. Too many these days want to blow you off but hopefully you’ll catch them at a good moment. West coast suppliers - KEY - I’ve had my local dealer check western distribution and get parts to me way up here in New England. One other place to check. We have a killer retail place here called the Nutty Company. Seriously check them out. Not that you’re going to use this option for this application but I have bought length of threaded rod for our exhaust to head applications. They would be the first people I would check with. Good luck. I can’t add a link but it’s nutty.com and the absolutely ship too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted Monday at 09:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:31 PM What’s part no.11 - Head Plug ? p/n 11051AA010 Do I see three of those needed on the drivers (left) side only? That’s what I see in this FPC Been ages and also never had to bother doing headgaskets on an EA82 since I had a million of them cheap as dirt. It was a different world not that long ago.

bushytails Posted yesterday at 04:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:55 AM I've learned not to waste my time trying the local dealer's parts counter. Once they realize you're not in there for a $500 oil change, they basically ignore you, then if you demand attention and get them to look up a part, they give you a price five times what anyone would pay, so you go away. I know someone who used to do a lot of work on those, and he always re-used the head bolts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted yesterday at 06:23 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:23 AM Sure I can agree with most of that. But I’ve also lived the vintage Subaru life for decades now and I’ve made that extra effort and was maybe lucky enough to find the older gentleman still working their last years who actually did help me. Yes, odds are drawing thin. The bigger issue as I’ve mentioned before is once you hit the 80s and SOA flexes muscle on dealers they’re all scared and scrap old inventory even breaking parts or making them unusable. Clean the old bolts super clean and chase the threads in the block blow them out, use solvent, blow them out, and try your bolts by hand before you even hang a head. Good luck.

scoobydube Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago You can buy whatever bolt you want off of EBAY. Be sure and get grade 10.9 high strength bolts. The original OEM bolts are most likely OK so you don't need to get paranoid about replacing them. Just do not over torque them. Which is 47 ft lbs to 55 ft lbs. Fel pro gaskets go longest, and only blow out when the bolts loosen up due to water intrusion. About 100 ft lbs will break the bolt off at the face of the block.
