Hi All, I have two CV Vega engines, one from 2554 and one from 2262, both 76's. After removing the cam cover, I noticed that 2262 uses Allen head bolts to...
The original bolt used on the cam carrier box cover is the external torx looking fastener. Apparently, someone has replaced the other engine with allen head...
Tod: The cam carrier to cylinder head bolts have the same size/configuration heads as the cam cover bolts, and they take an ordinary 12 point 1/4" standard...
They used a lot of 12 point head bolts on the Cosworth. Look closely to see if the bolts have 6 or 12 point heads. I think the external torx bolts only come...

Hello Group, I recently had problems with chinese brake parts (from autozone or advanced auto) for my dodge. rear wheel cylinders made in china don't last very...
Be highly suspect of NAPA parts also. Quite a few are being outsourced from China and they have the gall to charge made in the USA pricing! Chinese parts do...
