'95 4x4 3.0 Intake Plenum Bolt/Lock Washer question...
Hey everyone,
Plenum, intake, timing belt & cam sprockets off. Just have the crossover, exhaust, valve covers then heads. WOOT!!
Noticed while removing the plenum that the 4 bolts each have a lock washer on them. Unfortunately, it appears these washers are pressed on because I can't get them over the threads to replace them.
Always been taught that lock washer is a one time use item. Should I consider new bolts/locks? How important are other bolts in same situation?
Again, thanks for the help and ideas.
Respectfully,
DJ

Yeah, I've retightened mine more times than I care to remember, about to do it again to redo my valve covers. Never had them come loose after torqued. I do recommend using a little bit of the anti-seize on 'em, keeps the threads from corroding or galling.
