Hello all
just taken my EA81 out of the brumby for new cyl head gaskets, as there was a slight leak starting on no3
all came apart ok, but one of the 160mm+10mm bolts that hold on the rocker assembly on to the head, and act as Cyl Head bolts, is bent a few degrees at the start of the thread - this was above no3 cyl! - poss this is why it was leaking...!
So - need to replace - presume it is to a certain spec, and hopefully has a part number...?
presume I'll have to replace the pair on that side of the engine...
Any info on how to get a new pait of bolts -am in NZ
Cheers
Chris

G’day Chris!
That’s odd! I can’t help you with the part number as I don’t have any of the old school parts books which would be the easiest way to get the part number accurately.
The only other option I can think of is sourcing a second hand one. I’ll have a dig around in my parts stash as a good mate gave me some heads and there might be some bolts in there - no guarantee though.
Cheers

Looked 'em up on parts catelog I got from here :
item 2 : Stud 11 x 126.5 x 39 no: 800911120 ( 7 each side )
Not sure if that helps, as a search online couldn't find any ... :/
Cheeers, bantum ...
Add : I did find this however :
https://partsnavigator.com.au/search?pcode=800911120
They appear to be available ( ex Sydney ) so would give them a call to see if they can deleiver to NZ ...

Hey Bantum, not the studs, the two bolts that hold the rocker assembly to the head. These bolts are part of the head bolt system on the EA81.
Hopefully you have a part number for these!
Cheers

Sorry Chris you will not get those bolts new I'm sure someone on one of the many facebook pages would be able to help you out.
AS you are in NZ I would start with the classic subaru network

Ah well not exactly, I only have the workshop manual :
That states a bolt size of : 11 x 162 x 34 mm
If you can't get these bolts in NZ, I'd try a seaching for them in US or Japan ...
For refernce torque settings :
Cheers, Bantum ...
