std mains bolts are fine, unless reving lots. in which case go for studs rather than bolts. I like to use swiftune maincap dowels, really nicly made and cheap!

personally i'd spend the extra couple of ££ to not have to worry about it With the poor quality bolts supplied with many kits a lot of them probably weaken that area. get a strap from force racing if bothering at all. I won't be fitting one until turning over 7.5-8k On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Any idea on your red line? I destroyed an engine at 7000 rpm (very light loads while mapping ) in a very short time. Machining the strap shouldn't cost a lot (free for my last one) so if your redline is anywhere close to that, IMO it's a cheap and sensible precaution.

Fit a soft hitting rev limter? That stop you over reving it. But after owning a mx5 the redline is best place to shift |
