You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming |

I have a 2020 Vader BD125-15 and my bolts were marked 12.9 from the factory. I think I will replace them just as a precaution. I dropped my engine out of the frame anyway and China could mark them anything they want, but doesn't mean it is what is advertised. ARP bolts is a great idea. Thank you. I'm going to order up some 5/16 SAE to replace them.

FYI, My Boom Vader came with engine mounting bolts labeled "12.9" and I now have a "12.9" broken bolt.
Not a bolt expert, but this bolt seems to have some abnormalities on the shaft that suggest there were some casting defects. Not sure, but no way now that I look at this bolt, it looked high quality, something "12.9" would suggest. Just a guess, and once again, let me echo the masses, "Change the engine mounting bolts". Later,
