Dilavar Head Studs on a 1990 3.6
Hi All
In the middle of a 3.6l rebuild which had no issues with cylinder/head leakage prior to disassembly. I suspect the PO replaced approximately 150kms ago. I have the type which are not threaded the full length and appear to be in very good condition with just a few paint chips. Can I reuse the Dilavar studs? Is there any kind of test to determine they are OK before reinstalling them? TIA Bill |

No change them do not even think of compromising here, they are notorious for not taking the re-torqueing very well. Do your self a favour and save time and money now do it right....

Has Porsche ever officially indicated, they are a one time use item as on their rod bolts? Any input on the Canyon steel head studs?
