Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 28:th-May-2015 Is it possible to buy new bolts that hold the engine cover on? Some of mine are rusty as hell.

Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 28:th-May-2015 1.6 turbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine bolt covers - Rusty2009 - 28:th-May-2015 Just looked on EPC and it would appear they class your's as a cylinder head cover rather than an engine cover. Now if I'm right the part numbers will be 24440095 -SCREW, TORX, M6 X 30, COVER TO CYLINDER HEAD 55355420 -SCREW, TORX, M6 X 21, COVER TO CYLINDER HEAD Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 28:th-May-2015 Cheers mate. Couldn't log on for a while laptop or on my phone. Where would I buy them from? Put the part number in google comes up with GM in America Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine bolt covers - Rusty2009 - 28:th-May-2015 Try your dealer mate or autovaux Yeah something happened on the hosting side all fixed now. Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 28:th-May-2015 Just put the part number in autovaux Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Take it they'll let me know how much they are before I order? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine bolt covers - tucpal - 28:th-May-2015 you need the correct torque also for them and replace one at a time do not over tighten these bolts RE: Engine bolt covers - Rusty2009 - 28:th-May-2015 they are £1.30 but you need to add P&P on top mate I'd of thought that would be a 50p ish. Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 28:th-May-2015 Ok cheers. One more thing. Is there 2 different sizes, with there being to different part numbers. I only really need 2 but I'd replace them all with them being cheap (just noticed the price) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine bolt covers - Rusty2009 - 28:th-May-2015 yes mate there are different sizes although EPC is not very clear on where they all go or how many of each are needed. Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 28:th-May-2015 I'll just take one of the rusty ones out and measure it against the new ones then. Think I'll just order 4 of each size can't go wrong then Thanks for your help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine bolt covers - CRNeo - 28:th-May-2015 As said you need to torque these correctly... there's usually an order to torquing them up also to ensure even tightening. Don't want to end up leaking oil from the rocker cover. Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 28:th-May-2015 Mmmm..... Doesn't seem like a straight forward thing to do then. Can I not just take one out, then just put a new one its place at the correct torque. Cants go wrong then surly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 29:th-May-2015 I've bought 2 x 201 bolts which are part number 24440095. Because I think they are the ones that are rusty on my engine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk £3.62 each Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine bolt covers - tucpal - 29:th-May-2015 you can swap them one at a time but use the correct torque there not as tight as you may think if you were to take the cover off then you would have to tighten them up in sequence this is to protect the gasket Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 29:th-May-2015 Ok. Cheers. How do I find out what torque they're set to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine bolt covers - tucpal - 29:th-May-2015 rusty can you find that out mate but you could check the torque of an existing bolt that should point you in the right direction Engine bolt covers - dutton84 - 29:th-May-2015 Oh yeah never thought of that. Need to arm myself with a torque wrench 1st. More money. Ha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
