One broke when tightened to specification

Supplied on one side only and will not last on both sides. Also one broke when tightened to spec. Luckily I was able to reuse one of my old bolts and also remove the broken bolt without removing the head, but I'll never buy again anyway.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Quality screws: engines and engine parts

Replaced the engine on my son's 2009 Subaru Forester. Bought a JDM engine and had to change some parts to meet CA's smog requirements. I decided to check the valves and replace the head gasket. These screws fit perfectly and look like a quality product. No complaints.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • The list will be long.

These screws serve their purpose perfectly. By the way, the deal was made.

These screws do their job perfectly. By the way, the whole transaction went as promised. Note; When installing these bolts, apply a light coat of oil to the threads and washer. I personally like to use gear oil; and be sure to clean the protectors in the block.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

perfect for OEM: engines and engine parts

As others have said you need to order two sets to do a full head gasket job. Opinions differ as to whether they should be replaced. I have decided to replace them. There were several holes that I felt were no longer safe. Anyway, more sanity. Not ridiculously expensive, fits the OEM perfectly and uses the same 12 point head that came out. I hope they never have to be removed again.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Weak, bends when tightened and the screw is not straight.

The kit I received is not reliable. Received this kit with no delays but ultimately I should have tried to get a set of OEM replacement head bolts as this set from felpro bent too much when we tightened them from the start and that wasn't bad enough. , most screws were not so straight. afraid of breaking the heads when putting them on or taking them off, i just went with the manufacturer. But if you want to fit your engine for 1/4 the price of an original part, then absolutely.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Repair

Worked great - parts

2000 Subaru Legacy Outback. The screws are excellent and a month after fitting there are no problems with these screws. The description is a bit confusing - it's a 6 bolt set - enough for 1 head, not both. To make both heads with new bolts, 2 sets are needed. Someone else commented on this and was glad I saw it. Some say the head bolts need replacing, others say they don't. In our situation we replaced the head with a reconditioned one due to bent valves (timing belt) and just cleaned another…
