Hey everyone: I cleaned up the 6 large case "through bolts" on one of the Vanagon engines I'm rebuilding and I noticed that a couple of them are really beautiful - a gorgeous shade of violent, like they'd been anodized. Is this color really the result of tempering of the steel (too hot) and do I need to replace these bolts? TIA. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young young@sherlock.SIMS.Berkeley.EDU Lafayette, CA 94549 '81 Vanagon ---------------------------------------------------------------------
