FAQs

Are these bolts reusable?

No, cylinder head bolts are typically stretch-to-yield fasteners and are designed for single use. They should be replaced every time the cylinder head is removed.

What does the 'TX - E 12' Spanner Size refer to?

This refers to the size of the tool required to tighten the bolt. 'TX' indicates a Torx fitting, and 'E 12' typically specifies the external Torx size needed for engagement.

How do I know if this kit is compatible with my BMW?

Verify the part number (802.74) and compare the OE/OEM numbers (11121721938, 11121715398, 1112171539814x) or TecDoc engine numbers (28375, 28376) against your vehicle's service manual or parts catalog. The description lists compatible BMW models such as E39, E46, E36, E38, and E34 series.

What material is the engine block compatible with?

This kit is designed for vehicles with a grey cast iron engine block material.

What is the thread size and length of these bolts?

The thread size is M10x1.5, and the length is 95mm.

Do I need any special tools to install these bolts?

Yes, you will need a torque wrench capable of reaching the specified torque values and angle measurements, along with the correct external Torx (E12) socket for tightening.

Troubleshooting

Bolt threads do not engage smoothly during installation.

Remove the bolt and inspect the threads on both the bolt and the engine block for damage or debris. Clean the engine block threads if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct bolt for the specific hole.

Unable to achieve correct torque specification.

Ensure you are using a calibrated torque wrench and the correct tightening sequence as per the vehicle's service manual. Verify the bolt is not bottoming out prematurely, which could indicate incorrect bolt length for the application or damage.

Bolt head strips during tightening.

Immediately stop tightening. If the Torx head is stripped, specialized extraction tools may be required. This often indicates the wrong tool size was used or excessive force was applied incorrectly. Inspect the engine block for any obstructions causing binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Before purchase, verify that part number 802.74 is the correct specification for your vehicle's engine. This kit is designed for specific BMW models and engine configurations, including those with grey cast iron blocks. Check OE/OEM numbers (11121721938, 11121715398, 1112171539814x) or TecDoc engine numbers (28375, 28376) against your vehicle's service information.

Setup (Installation):

  1. Ensure the cylinder head and engine block surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material.
  2. Lubricate the threads of the new bolts with a suitable engine oil or assembly lubricant as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
  3. Install the bolts by hand to ensure they thread smoothly.
  4. Tighten the bolts in the sequence and to the torque specifications outlined in the vehicle's official service manual. This typically involves multiple stages, including a final torque setting and potentially an angle tightening step.

Care: These are single-use, stretch-to-yield bolts. They should not be reused after installation and torqueing, as their material properties change during the tightening process. Store any unused bolts from the kit in a clean, dry place if they are part of a multi-use application for future repairs.
