Parts availability

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help. I have been unable to find a part number for the cam cap bolts (M6 capscrews) for an XU9J4. I could use standard cap screws, but would prefer to use originals if I can. Also I am told the rubber sealing rings that seal the spark plug holes are NLA. Is there an alternative supplier.

Thamks in advance Stephen

Graham Wallis on AussieFrogs is currently scraping a head. Ask him if you need a full set. Otherwise I have a few spares.

The original cap heads are pretty soft and it’s not uncommon the heads round out. I’d choose to fit new cap screws rather than used. There is nothing special about them.

Hi, thanks for the responses. I will organise the plug tube seals. Re the cap screws, probably aftermarket SHCS are harder and as my engine has lash cap adjusted valve clearances the screws are in and out a bit more than the standard setup. I will go with std.SHCS  but will now look to source some thin 6 mm hardened flat washers similar to the OEM ones.

Many thanks Stephen
