I happened to come accross the Mercury Capri ('71-78) website and they mention
two interesting rear axles- code "S" which is a 3.44:1 nad code "R" which is a
3.22:1 Has anybody tried to fit one of these into an Alpine?
Second, not having used an old head gasket in many years, I can't remember how
to retorque- do you break the nuts/bolts loose and then retighten or do you
just retighten?
Thanks,
Jan Eyerman

On some engines, studs/bolts are replaced as a matter of course, due to
stretch, fatigue, etc. On the other hand, the Alpine head bolts are pretty
sturdy, and aren't torqued very high...
If they *should* be replaced, what size are they, and what is a good source?
Many thanks,
Matt
