Definitely picking up what your putting down mate , you explained that we'll then, cheers for your help sorry for the I <3 Bananas around

Well I'll admit when I'm wrong so I have been miss led now I'm not trusting these so called builders near me , sorry for the argument thank you for clearing this up for me , so I can just keep reusing the same bolts even if they have been off and on a few times

I was sceptical as well but 2 engine machine/rebuilding shops confirmed it one is building my short block and reconditioning head, alot of people cheap out and don't replace them apparently, also ford told me that the bolts are on back order been a high demand for them and some of the ford rangers used the same bolts aswell

They are threaded 14 of them each cam

Haha says the bloke that doesn't even know what the head look likes pulled apart. Do some research before you comment you have obviously no idea and your just making guess's

You are ment to replace but lots of people reuse them, they do stretch so specially under more power , also were the cam cap bolts slide over little guides and that's were the thread is for the cam cap bolts there not aluminium, magnets stick too it were it won't to the head?? Also I have 2 xr6 turbo motors ones a ba ones a fg there both torn down both the same $106 bucks for all new ones from Ford just found out so I'll be ordering them and play it safe. If I could figure out how to upload picture on here I would, also if rebuilding a head or motor why reuse bolts and parts wouldn't you rather use new ones specially under lots off load just like you do with head bolts and , con rod bolts and main cap bolts if rebuilding a motor wouldn't you use new ones?

I understand what you mean but its not aluminium, the head has inserts that the cam cap bolts bolt to there magnetic there not aluminium, Just been told while I am having head reconditioned and putting cams in I'll need new cam cap bolts as there tourqe to yield and under alot of pressure , I know there only torqued to 10nm so not much buy just thought I'd ask the question and be safe last thing I wanted is a bolt to let go after being freshend up and pushing for more power. I haven't figured out how to upload photo otherwise I would

It's not Aluminium thread though

Hey I'm new to this forum and have a question , where can I buy cam/ tower bolts for xr6 turbo or any ford 6 barra motor , I can't find them anywhere online , from my understanding is that they are torque to yield bolts and can't be reused , any help please muchly appreciated
