much appreciated

m8 where did u get the arches from shown on the car in ur profile pic?

Hi,

I got M10 bolts which is 12.9 spec for much cheaper than ARP bolts.
That what Mike aka Suprf1y from Teamswift sells as HD items.
It works fine but I know ARP bolts are nice.
I got a set from Andy aka Garndi as well.

Just letting you know cheap option.

Just so people know the really cheap option , the standard GTi head bolts work fine at 300HP +.

are standard bolts stretchy bolts

and atchi did u buy superf1ys or did u buy them somewhere else?

Hi Ross,

I bought 2 sets from Mike and found out that it is just cap head screws which you can buy set of 10 for less than £10.

Standard head bolts are stretch type so I wouldn't recommend using it again.
Even though some people said it is OK to use and they are using it with turbo engine and so on.

If you need a set, let me know I will let you know who can buy it from off 16vmini club site.
You will need to keep your washer as they are special size(outer diameter is smaller than usual).

I also bought one set from Andy which I will be using when I go turbo as I don't like cap head screws.

thats one of the reasons i didnt use a 12.9 cap head atchi
i toy`d with the idea, and i know they are very strong but studs are stronger than bolts just coz the hole thing isnt twisting under the tourqe load when your doing it up
iv sheared a 12.9 m10 cap bolt before and i was surprized and how little it takes when its being turned

on another note i dont supose you can send the pistons back when you send the other stuff?
im looking to sell them v soon, thats unless you still want them?
i know they still need reaming but if the bloke says they are fine its good enough for me mate

hi, thanks for all the replies, does anyone know if these will fit? They are listed for g13a but they are the m10 type http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Suzuki-Cylinder-Head-Bolt-Set-Swift-1-3-G13A-SF413-/260710772837?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cb392b065#ht_3092wt_5627 i have sent them an email but no response yet. thanks, Tom

the arches are from another suzuki model possibly sj or vitara- im not sure as they were on the car when i got it

hi all- quick update-i have heard back from the ebay company and it seems these bolts wont fit. Im struggling to get hold of stock head bolts. Have just had a quote from a local company £64 which is way too steep. Any info/links would b appreciated. Thanks, tom

Hi Gary,

I can send you your pistons, no problem.
I still haven't taken gearbox apart. So I will send down pistons by itself.
As, I'm trying to make CAD data for adaptor plate before I send it down to you.
I'm taking Friday off so I can take 993 gearbox apart and send it to you next week.

It's your pistons, so you don't have to ask me like this! Just tell me.

Cheers
Atchi

no rush just thought it would save on the postage thats all mate
