Broke my headbolts trying to put a slant head on a regular block... Crap

[MarksA-C]

Yup, broke, actually bent but still... I tried to put a slant head on a regular 80cc block and it would have worked too except those damn headbolts didn't have enough threaded area for it and I screwed it up...

I need replacements soon, asap, you get the point.

Ones with more thread would be GREAT too! Then I can use my slant head I bought...

Get some threaded rod or "all thread" and make some.

it doesn't need to be a special type? Just regular good ol' threaded rod?

 

[Bikeguy Joe]

Just match up the old thread. You only need 12-15 foot pounds of torque on them, grade 5 will be sufficient.

Ok, sweet. Thank you for the help. With all luck I'll be able to ride it to work Thursday

Well, its all back together now. Runs good, no loss of compression, sweet...
