Hi All
So, I have been pondering this topic for a while. To make a link to the real world first, I remember about 20 years ago reading an article about the M1 tanks that had been built using bolts from Taiwan that had been improperly marked. In the end, to the tanks had to be completely disassembled and reassembled with proper bolts to ensure the battle worthiness.
I generally like the idea of **replacing** head bolts when doing heads. BUT, the recent bolts I have purchased from Porsche have been unmarked. That is they have not had any markings on them as to grade or manufacturer. I have used them, they seem to work (2 years and counting), but what do others think about this?
