Posted February 23, 201510 yr comment_464240 I've searched high & low and have not been able to locate the proper placement of the "longer" head bolts. The FSM states there are different sizes, although there are no pictures/guides. I did order a new set of 280zx turbo bolts which I've heard are stronger than the ones I pulled out of my '72 240z (e88 head). Can someone please point me in the direction of where the longer ones should go? Thanks.

February 23, 201510 yr comment_464250 5 long ones on front of cam towers manifold side. 9 everywhere else on the head deck.The turbo bolts will have a small 13 stamped on top of the head of the bolts.

February 24, 201510 yr comment_464265 It will make sense when it comes time to install- the longer ones go through the cam tower base. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/51005-short-vs-long-head-bolt-locations/#findComment-464265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 24, 201510 yr comment_464298 I read something the other day about putting aviation gasket maker on the threads of the head bolts to keep coolant from settling down there and crudding up the threads. Has anybody else heard of such? I know anti-seize will affect the final torque reading but what about aviation sealer?
