31281, HELP!!! stock head bolt size???
Posted by Dave_FL, Aug-28-02 08:27 AM
I am trying to retorque my stock head bolts to see if my compression goes back up. I am missing the 15-16mm sockets and i need to go and buy a new one. Which one is it???? I need the size of the stock head bolts. And how do you get to it under the cams? Do you need a swivel extension?

Sorry Dave, but I don't think its as easy as tightening them up. There is a very specific sequenced procedure for tightening the head bolts. Check it out.




95 Eclipse RS : 5 speed
Gude cams : test pipe : AFX UDP : ram air : Thrush glasspack
BOMZ F/R upper strut bars
Dual air horns : Kenwood KDC 5000 : AutoCommand remote start
incomming - lower strut bars, ES inserts

Yeah I knew all that. i tried to see if they could be tightened but they are all tight. looks like the headgsaket is just broke. I am going to order the ARP studs and bolts tomorrow and maybe next wek I'll have the car running again.
