I am pleased to say that my engine rebuild is coming along nicely, no issues at present. I have not, at this stage considered changing the head stud bolts for new. In discussion with Lotus Marques (Aussie) it is not a requirement every time you split the head. I have checked mine over and to the eye no marks, pitting etc apart from one stud that has some pitting towers the bolt end. I do have some odd washer selections and one split washer.
If i decide to re-use bolts, can anyone specify the washers so I can try and source these in NZ,
Many thanks
