Why should I replace my cylinder head bolts?

Many modern engines use Torque-To-Yield (TTY) head bolts, which stretch to achieve precise clamping force. Reusing these bolts can lead to improper clamping, potential leaks, and engine damage. Always use new head bolts when removing the cylinder head for a reliable seal.

What does 'designed for the repair environment' mean?

It means Fel-Pro designs their gaskets and related components with the realities of a repair shop in mind. This includes accounting for potentially imperfect sealing surfaces on the engine block and cylinder head, ensuring a reliable seal even when conditions aren't factory-perfect.

Do these bolts come with any special coating?

The manufacturer's description does not specify any special coatings on these cylinder head bolts.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, especially on a Volkswagen or Audi, using new cylinder head bolts is a critical step. These Fel-Pro ES71193 bolts are designed specifically for the repair environment, meaning they account for the realities of imperfect sealing surfaces and ensure a dependable seal when you put your engine back together. They meet or exceed original equipment specs, so you know they're built to perform.

The big reason to always use new head bolts, especially on engines that use Torque-To-Yield (TTY) bolts, is that TTY bolts stretch when torqued to their final specification. Reusing them can lead to improper clamping force, which can cause leaks or even engine damage down the road. Fel-Pro understands this and designs their bolts to be a reliable replacement, validated for fit, form, and function on a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models like the Passat, Jetta, Golf, and A4.
