I decided to replace my valve stem seals on my e55 and when went to dealership they told me camshaft bridge retainer bolts (replaceable item as it’s a stretcher bolt I’ve read in forums or YouTube ) never had been ordered in Ireland ever … now Ireland isn’t UK in size and amount of amg or other V8s but I doubt nobody changed the seals yet in the whole country … this leads me to the conclusion that people just use old bolts as new are expensive about 7€ per one and you need about 40 of them
So here’s my question- did anyone did the job on seals and reused the bolts and if so I hope you share with me how it went and is the car drives as it should
Thanks I’m advanced
