Victor Reinz 14-32227-01 Engine Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz Cylinder Head Bolt Set

Victor Reinz 14-32227-01 is an engine cylinder head bolt set for Saab applications that require torque-to-yield replacement hardware. On late-model engines, reusing stretched head bolts can compromise clamping force and head gasket sealing, so fresh bolts are the correct choice during cylinder head service.

• Engine cylinder head bolt set for OE-style head installation service
• Designed for torque-to-yield applications where head bolts are not reused
• Supports consistent cylinder head clamping force for gasket sealing
• Fits 2000-2009 Saab 9-5
• Fits 1999-2003 Saab 9-3
• Fits 1981-1998 Saab 900
• Fits 1986-1998 Saab 9000

This Victor Reinz 14-32227-01 head bolt set is used during cylinder head installation, head gasket replacement, and top-end engine repair on Saab 9-5, Saab 9-3, Saab 900, and Saab 9000 models. It cross-references Elring 221.280 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses
