    main bolts

    Can the main bearing cap bolts be reused? (2.8l ironhead)
    If not, where can I get new ones?
    Thanks

    On the old iron head motors yes they can be reused. however it is usually suggested you replace such critical bolts like head bolts, rod bolts and main cap bolts.

    Your auto parts store should carry them. If not a dealership will have them.

      That was a dumb question, I guess. (why take the time to rebuild the motor and cheap out on the main bolts?!)
      Thanks for the reply
