intake bolts

nobody · 04-10-2006

I was getting down to the nitty gritty last pieces on a motor and discovered I was missing intake to head bolts again. If you've ever fought with the hex head ones especially on duals you can relate to the joy I was looking forward to. I called OGTS and they had a stock of allen head ones brand new for like 4.60 each. No more trying to get a wrench or socket in there anymore. Well worth the money in tradeoff of busted knuckles and explatives.

These are a must with headers. Very nice indeed.

But I still had to make a special tool out of a bicycle hex wrench in order to turn the bolts on the inside of those Irmscher shorties. What was I doing wrong?

Bondhus makes a ball end hex key that can be used at an angle, or you can make yourself a shortie allen wrench by just cutting one down.
