Subject: DO NOT REUSE HEADBOLTS


Model and Year: 1985-89 SPRINT
1989-92 METRO
1989-92 TRACKER


The headbolts on 1985-92 M car (Sprint/Metro) and 1989-92 J truck (Tracker) may elongate while in use, which is normal with aluminum cylinder heads. While this will not cause any operational problems with the vehicle, the bolts should not be reused if the headbolts are removed for any reason. New bolts should always be used. Follow Service Manual instructions for proper torquing procedures.

There are two head bolts used for these vehicles, Part Numbers 96061591 and 96059992. They are different lengths, and are not interchangeable. Consult the Parts Book for the proper application.

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
