What vehicles is the FAI Head Bolt B1650 compatible with?

The B1650 is part of FAI's "all makes" range and is intended for European, Japanese, and Korean cars and light vans. However, it is crucial to check the product dimensions against your vehicle's specific requirements as variations exist.

What is the warranty period for this part?

The FAI Head Bolt B1650 comes with a 24-month / 50,000 km / 30,000 miles warranty. Please refer to the FAI website for full terms and conditions.

Can I rely solely on the compatibility information provided?

No, it is essential to check the product dimensions and specifications against your vehicle's requirements. Vehicle variations can occur, making manual verification necessary.

Where can I find the correct torque specifications for installation?

Torque specifications and installation sequences are specific to each vehicle model. You should consult your vehicle manufacturer's official service manual for the correct procedures.

What should I do if the part does not match the dimensions of my original bolts?

If the dimensions do not match, do not attempt installation. Contact your supplier immediately to confirm you have the correct part number or to arrange a return.

Is this part suitable for high-performance or modified engines?

While FAI has a background in motor racing, this specific part number is designed for general automotive applications. For high-performance or heavily modified engines, it is advisable to consult with a specialist to ensure the component meets the increased demands.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect bolt length or thread pitch

Verify the exact measurements of the FAI B1650 against the original bolt or vehicle manufacturer's specifications. Check for vehicle variations that may require a different part number. If dimensions do not match, do not install and contact the supplier.

Difficulty in achieving specified torque

Ensure the bolt threads and the threaded holes in the engine block are clean and free from obstructions or damage. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended torque sequence and values precisely.

Engine performance issues post-installation (e.g., misfires, coolant loss)

This could indicate improper head gasket sealing due to incorrect head bolt installation. Re-check the torque specifications and sequence, or consult a professional mechanic to diagnose potential issues with the head gasket or bolt seating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: While FAI offers an "all makes" range, it is imperative that customers verify the dimensions and specifications of the B1650 against their specific vehicle's requirements.
