Another novice query! When I removed the head bolts on my 4L1 their heads were rusty but more importantly some of the passivate finished shafts had a fair bit of corrosion on them. I’d prefer to reuse them if possible. What are my options for restoring them? Zinc plating, new passivate treatment or can I just paint the shafts with vht? Thanks Rolie

Clean them up on the wire wheel and get them replated and passivated. Cheaper than new ones.

Depends where you live
Darn Souff- Collins chemical blacking
Hull - AJ's
Scotland - Able Plating
All should do a postal service if you give them a call
