new rocker bolts?

[revhead2011]

where am i able to get replacement rocker bolts to replace the torque to yeild bolts that hold the rockers in place from factory?

Your local nut and bolt shop will stock them mate.

When I replaced my rockers a couple of years ago, I bought replacement bolts for about $1-$2 each. They were the same as these, Comp Cams - Re-usable Rocker bolts #COMP-1053B-12

So ask for 5/16" bolts, take an old one in for length, and ask for Hex Head Cap Screws. Thats what I got anyway.

Wait never mind, just buy them from MACE Comp Cam Re-Usable Rocker Bolts - Mace Engineering Group

Go to your nearest decent sized industrial estate and I can almost guarantee there will be a bolt shop there. May also be called a fastener shop.

Yellow pages under fasteners.

dont go too cheap-you don't want them shearing off when you torque them up or when they get hot under stress with the engine running. $23 from mace isn't too bad and they are high tensile.

If your going to a bolt place just give them one of your old rocker bolts, say you want 12 of these 5/16th bolts, and you want them in 12.9 grade steel.

you want them in 12.9 grade steel.

just curious but is there any reason you want 12.9? i would have thought 8.8 would have been fine

 

[Immortality]

why use grade 8 bolts when you can get 12.9.....

Many years ago there was a guy at a car show who had the clutch plate separate from the flywheel at 7000rpm+ bolts shared straight off. He was wondering why when he had used brand new grade 8.8 bolts, they are high tensile aren't they? he said.

Personally, i think he got what he deserved (it was a RX7).
