Not until you blow your headgasket and have to tell your buddies who are car nuts that you used torque-to-yeild bolts twice. That's enough shame in itself. Do the right thing and replace them with quality parts. You newly built motor deserves at LEAST that much respect.:thumbup:

 

Respect? Come on, it's a D15B7... I don't get respect from my buddies for building a 1.5L civic motor to begin with, so I'm not sure any could be lost.

If you're going to be a cheap bastard... just be prepared to face the consequences, and then you can be a cheap bastard with confidence.
:thumbup:

 

^^^^ I respect the built D!

 

Hey don't worry my b16 is almost completely new but I didn't realize that those bolts were tty.

I can also understand what Jafro was saying... With my dual point injection POS I really didn't care and was ready to face the consequences from reusing the head dolts....

But sometimes you know the consequences and just don't care...but my b16 is not one of them...I care...alot...

I'll post some pisc tonight of the engine so far and of the snapped bolts.

:thumbup:

 

Working on downsizing these pics...just a minute...

 

These are two of the bolts...notice how you can actually see it stretched

 

My gokart on H&R race (camber adjusted ) :thumbup:

 

My home made valve cover....not bad if you ask me

 

And my butt-naked B16

 

random $h!t...including my sunshine buddies in the bottom left-hand corner...
