Subject:2.1 rebuild - new nuts for case halves
From:Tom Lambas
Date:Wed, 4 May 2011 15:36:07 -0500

Hi everyone, I'm finally putting my motor back together, and figured I'd use
some new hardware.
I am going to re-use the four internal water jacket nuts, but figured I'd
replace the rest with stainless steel nuts
and washers from a FLAPS or hardware store.  These are m10x1.25 and m8x1.25
right?  The stud threads cleaned
up nicely with a wire brush.  Any comments or suggestions? I'll be taking
Ben's advice on "The Right Stuff" for the head gaskets,
and Permatex Form-A-Gasket for the case halves.

Thanks, Tom
