Head bolts - cheapest I could find anywhere...local dealer wanted $120 for the L20 set....got a few extra with this and they're the turbo bolts...

USE SEARCH!!! :angry:

Better than USE SEARCH just RE-USE. They are designed to be re-used as long as undamaged. Just clean thoroughly and with an well oiled rag. If full out racing then yeah replace. For all else save the $120 for something important.

I have no problem re-using but one of mine is buggered up, I guess I could go up to the wrecking yard and pull some, was just curious if anyone had a source, that is all.

If you have to have new ones part #11056-p7600 short bolt about 5 bucks on the courtesy nissan site,long bolt is part # 11059-p7600 about six bucks.

Better yet, get a head stud kit from ARP. Only $98 if I remember correctly. Much better.

[nathan_454]

yeah I saw them for around 95 dollars, if funds allow i will go this route. its a stocker engine but studs would make for a bulletproof combo

I thought I heard/read of the Z car turbo head bolts being used as an upgrade. Anyone confirm that?

[HRH]

If it's just a stock motor, don't waste your money. Reuse your old ones, or go to the local pick and pull and rob the bolts out of another L. Stock compression doesn't need much to hold it down. Hit all the bolts on the wire wheel, chase the block holes with a tap, call it good.

Go to Nissan. I got my A-series head bolts for about $53.
