I need to know if the head studs on my RMCXXXXX are all suppose to be the same length and if not which ones are longer and also the location of the long ones. Thanks. Brett[/b] _________________ 53 M37

Thanks, so the bolts on my M38 enginehead are original, i wondered why there where bolts used and not studs with nuts as in our GPW. In the past before i restored my M38 the engine had been rebuild ( greek rebuilding tag on the block ) and the head was fixed with bolts. Because compression was good and equal on all cylinders i left the head on the block.
