95 Camaro 3.4L Head bolt stud

[shwgidy]

All,

I called Felpro today and they said that bolt is a proprietary design GM and the bolt manufacturer came up with that solved the problem with ~10% of the camaro's made, thus we have to buy them from GM and Felpro is definitely aware of the situation.

I missed the Chevrolet parts department today. Anyone know what I should have to pay for such a bastard from GM?

$25 shipped for the whole right/passenger side bolt kit... Victor Reinz Head Bolts GS33232

$18.75 shipped from horsepowerparts.com

I guess as long as Chevrolet doesnt do me that bad tomorrow I'll be alright.

Seems to me (but is has been a while) that I paid around 10-15 bucks for it. Small potatoes when you are wanting to do things the right way.

Benjamin Franklin once mentioned that, "Well Done... Is Better Than ...Well Said..." Big Props to you Brian for finding a solution that has finally taken a very annoying pebble out of my shoe. Following up on these seemingly "easy-to-solve" problems instead of just Bitching about them and dogging things out to their proper resolution puts guys like you on my "A" List for "Best Problem Solvers", Brah... Thanks ever so much! I just ordered the set for my current build as well... UGETALL5*S...

...and here is an excellent explanation as to why its wise to never use "Stretch-To-Yield" bolts more than once...

My local GM dealer didnt have one but gave me a few out of state dealers to try... After calling a couple out of state I found one for 4.99 plus shipping. They are slowly being sent to GMs discontinued warehouse in wisconsin... They will be 9.99 plus shipping from there...
