Default Re: Replace head bolts? IS PARAGON THE SOURCE?

As I remember it, the original head bolts have a circle with a triangle inside for head markings

"M" in the middle. I'm guessing these are originals. Or Marlin has been horsing around with my motor.

Paragon shows "M" bolts in their charts,##1799-1688-#4759-#626,but none that come close to resembling what you show.The declare them as Bumper bolts too.

Unless it's a "W"..still not in their charts.

Doesn't look like a "W" to me Mickey.



I already have a set of the "M" bumper bolts.

I agree. Guess we can put this thread to rest.

Darren, just went out to the shop to check out the head bolts on my 69 Z. They have ARP bolts. I couldn't remember what was stamped on the head bolts, since I last turned wrenches in the engine compartment a couple of months ago.
