Replacing DV & cam follower....bolts too?

(1/3) > >>

Lewo:
Do you need to replace the bolts on both when replacing?
Ta.

Clarkj93:
Not really. Every couple of changes I tend to but mostly just for the sake of it. Not  a necessity if they seem to be in good condition. They're not like the stretch bolts holding the subframe to the chassis that are a little risky if re used multiple times.

pudding:
Yeah don't bother.  The online kits imply you need to replace them (and the O ring), but you don't. It's a money making scheme.  They buy the bolts and rings in at wholesale prices and sell them to you at full rrp. It's a scam.

LC5F:
I tend to be cautious about bolts with unknown history, new to me car - I replaced my HPFP bolts when I rebuilt my head - but next time I am in there I will change those to studs

Lewo:
I was going to ask if anyone has done the stud conversion?
Is it worth it,  any negatives apart from the price? 😂
