I'd prefer to fit standard 9.8 (tensile) bolts - and an Elastomer Gasket (with standard oil rail)

are the Higher tensile bolts 10.9 intended to be used with the MLS Gasket and upgraded Oil Rail ?


so many options available - I just want to be sure of what i fit and compatibility of parts.


any opinions on the FAI Head Gasket ? (i'd prefer to source this locally - I don't want to receive another Kinked Gasket in the post)


it's a subject covered many times i know - I've been searching too long and none the wiser r.e these questions

FAI.....no thanks, head bolts, not necessary I've yet to see a used one out of spec

As to the head gasket, Federal Mogul "Payen" BW750 is the best option
