Doing my headgasket and im just wondering I have a stock 7MGE and im not planning on putting alot of mods on the engine so stock do I need the cool headbolts or will oem do me?
If I can get by with oem bolts what should I tourqe these to? I ve seen 56, 70, even some saying 90?. Ive done the reasearch and understand that 56 is to low and thats why these awsome cars have had bhgs but anything over 70 sounds too high. Keep in mine Im stock and plan to stay mostly that way until I can save up for a 7MGTE.
