I am building a 4mil and am wanting to replace all the studs etc in the engine. Any reviews or feedback on them? I've used the entire "ALLOY BOLTS" kit from Ebay. Worked very well. You might choose not to use a few of the fasteners...but overall, I do the full stainless bolt kit on every bike. Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Yeah you can't go wrong with them. I used it on my streetbike. You can get them on eBay pretty cheap like mentioned. Quote

You are going to be breaking studs and they are a bitch to drill out. Quote
m_hatcher Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 I had looked at Alloy Boltz and they were the reason I asked about the kits. I also decided that I am going to just try and clean up the cylinder and case studs and not replace them because it seesm everyone here has had a hell of a time getting them out. Quote

Keep the original case studs, but use the Alloy Bolts kit for the rest of the build. You might find that the brake rotor bolts won't work and a few others here and there at your choice...but it's well worth switching the ones you can use over to the stainless. Just go buy a nice set of metric T-handle allens. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 What antiseize do u guys recommend? Ask Alfie. He had great luck with his bolts. :rotflmao: Permatex 31163 copper. Comes in a little bottle/jar thing with a brush. It's a bitch to wash it off your skin, but works awesome. I use it on every bolt on my boat, keeps them from rusting inside the hole. Quote
barahonapr Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 Great! Thanks matt ima pick me up a bottle here this weekend then Quote
