This 8mm x 157mm tie-rod is one of four studs that secure the cylinder assembly and must be in good condition to maintain proper clamping force and gasket seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tie-rods thread into the crankcase and protrude through the cylinder base flange. The cylinder head nuts then thread onto the top of these studs to clamp the entire top-end assembly together. Damaged, bent, or stripped tie-rods must be replaced to avoid uneven clamping that can lead to head gasket failure or cylinder base leaks.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 tie-rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect tie-rods for thread damage during every top-end rebuild.
