   Paul,
     Wasn't "ARP" working on producing 13B tension
bolts?
 Has anything been heard about this effort lately/

Nothing. Makes sure you have good bolts and RTV.

are you coating the entire length of the bolt with
rtv?  jim coffman

John at Mazdatrix puts a bead on the bolt as he inserts and twist
the bolt on the way in. Not a complete coating. Sort of a spiral.
Actually the new bolts that come from Mazda have a plastic
coating only around the center of the bolt as in these pics.
