Default Re: Weird bolt in engine block

I found an original unopened NOS box of these bolts but not the stock ones. These are special high-strength lightweight alloy racing type. You can definitely feel the difference particularly going uphill, downhill, and on flat ground. Most knowledgeable people optimize the performance advantage by switching to lightweight water for the cooling system, too.
