It is very important that the ignition distributor be in the correct position and remain tight. To insure this, the bearing cap must never be removed.

The bolts are intentionally provided with a special driver and are not removeable. They are tightened with the specified torque and locked in production. At the same time, the joints against the bearing cap are also sealed.

The bolts are not stocked as spares.
1. These bolts must not be removed.
