    95 2.4 cylinder head bolts

    I am new to this forum. So the cylinder head bolts on a 95 2.4 mighty max can be reused?

    I wanna say no just from experience with other 80/90s vehicles.
    Most are one time use & the book prolly says to replace them, although
    I have reused them on vw 4cyl engines, I Cannot speak about mitsu engines
    in particular, as this 6g72 max is my 1st bishi. I purchased new headbolts for
    my engine thru rock($shipping)auto for like $30/set.
    I'd check them for ur headbolts, long as ur not after a bunch of parts the shipping
    ain't bad, they just have like x6 warehouses so if ur shit ain't in the same one, u pay
    shipping for each warehouse.
    That being said the ship time estimates are usually double, so stuff gets to u fairly fast,
    at least they make it seem that way by telling u it'll be there next week & it shows up in
    3 days like it shuda...... Idk...

    the length of these bolts are not listed, they are for the 16v head and the 2.4 mighty max is a 8v head. I had ordered a set and they were the wrong length. 95mm long and I need 120mm long. Thanks for the input though. I am continueing my search.

    I thought I saw somewhere that the 6v72 head bolts would work, but I don't remember where I saw that.

    I've done a bit of research and I'm coming up empty handed on cross referencing - what the hell?

    I found a technical service bulletin for the 4G64 head bolts on the 93, 94, and 95 that says they used "elasticized" bolts and gave a measurement for the safe limit for reuse. It has been my experience that the torque specs for this are torque to yield bolts which are a one time use bolts. Who out there has had the head off one of these and knows?

    yes, the 2.4 forklift motor is the same as the truck motor without balance shafts. ARP Studs for a 16V motor are too short (I had to return them) IIRC you can re-use the bolts (as mentioned) if you don't stretch them too much. They are torque to spec, not torque to yield or torque angle (older I think 2.6 is the torque to yield, i.e, go to 60 ft lbs, then a 1/2 turn more. You do stretch them either way, that's how they get the clamping power.
    I always replaced mine as a matter of practice. I think I still have a set lurking in the garage that got about 6 miles on them :-)

    Allright! I will order a set. Thanks guys. I was worried that they would last for a short time if I reused them. Don't want to do the job twice.

    I ordered the bolts that are for the forklift and used them just to be sure. It worked, I torqued them per factory specs. I have since put about 3,000 miles on it. It is completely stock, I had the AC compressor rebuilt and it sure works good.

    Where did you order the forklift bolts from?
