[idoari 10]

Hi, i thinking about doing a head job and i need a new set of head bolt. If i can't the genuine bolts which brand to buy?

I've used many sets of payen bolts without problems, decent price and quality, not sure if they make the original bolts but they are one of the suppliers of original gaskets.

Hi

 

I have used a set and just ordered another set of BGA from GSF £19.20 and then if you time it right 33% off on most weekends!

I wouldn't use anything bga personally, poor quality.

Used BGA head gaskets and head bolts a few times and never had any issue. I also asked the question on here before I used them and had good responses from others too.

im a mechanic and obviously use different gasket/head bolt makes quite a lot. From expereince BGA are sometimes ok but have had problems before so i personally don't use. I personally like Payen gaskets, never had a problem and always fit really feel. But if Febi do the bolts Im sure they will be good as all there stuff is, quite a lot of there parts have the genuine numbers ground off so they make for manufactures. Hope this helps

As above, when I was a techy I'd get sent BGA products quite often but stopped using them due to quality issues. I only use payen stuff myself on my 205.
