Long head bolts are used to secure the cylinder head to the engine. They are unlikely to wear out themselves, but are usually replaced as a matter of course when replacing the cylinder head or other engine parts.

The reason for this is that many head bolts are 'stretch bolts' which stretch to fit when mounted in the engine, and so cannot be reused. Head bolts come in different sizes and are car model specific.

Febi Bilstein’s range includes more than 20,000 spare parts for all popular types of cars and commercial vehicles. One special feature is the “febi plus” product range which groups together over 1,400 parts from various product groups.

Why this exclusivity? Quite simply: parts that are designated as febi plus are supplied almost exclusively by OE manufacturers and are parts which repair shops do not immediately think of as being available in the independent aftermarket.

Please check the Notes section in the eBay compatibility table for fitment information relating to your specific vehicle. Failure to do so could result in the incorrect part being purchased.
