Does anyone know if there are engines out there that DO TTY the bolts that hold on the heads? Seems like there HAS to be a few of them, otherwise there'd be no myth about having to replace them every time


and just for the record, I was talking about the intake manifold bolts when I said that I replace them. the originals always look like junk because of the galvanic reaction taking place between the 3 different metals (whatever alloy the bolts are, the cast aluminum of the intake, and the cast iron of the head.)

head bolts NEVER look bad when taking apart an engine.



I'm stretching my brain a little trying to remember this (see what I did there? ) but I seem to recall the Neon 2 liter had TTY head bolts.
