As I was prepping parts and tools, I started thinking about the disassembly and I remembered that meant to ask the gurus here about the head bolts. I have new bolts and washers going on, but when I pulled my head, there were no washers. Im 100% certain of this. Additionally, a second head (though not the third I ended up using) that I pulled from another engine also had no washers. I am also 100% certain of this.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Is there a reason people were doing this, or should I just chalk it up to PO and/or mechanic malfeasance?
Again, to be clear, before anyone piles on me, I am replacing the head bolts and washers, I’m just curious why two of three heads I pulled during the repair process were missing washers.
Thoughts?
