Right, so its time for my Honda PC50 engine to go back together! (Blows party blower) Question is, my cylinder head bolts have never been changed by the look of it. That makes them 39 years old. Ordering new ones will take about 10 days and will cost about 20 quid for all four...

SO guys... Do I need to change them? someone was saying to me that they've probably stretched (Although the bike has done only 4000 miles?) And it does sound plausible...but surely on a 1.8hp engine from honda, the old bolts (Even if weakened) should still be up to the job? What's everyones views on this?

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 14 years, 200 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
