Primary Applications and System Function

The BY61200040452 Cylinder Head Main Bolt is the most critical fastener in the entire engine assembly. Its sole purpose is to create and maintain the clamping force that seals the cylinder head to the engine block.

This seal contains the immense pressures of combustion (exceeding 2000 PSI), prevents leakage of combustion gases into coolant passages, and stops coolant and oil from mixing or leaking externally.

The BY61200040452 works in conjunction with the cylinder head gasket. The uniform clamping force provided by a full set of these bolts ensures the gasket compresses evenly across the entire sealing surface.

Uneven clamping, caused by incorrect bolts or improper installation, leads to head gasket failure, coolant loss, engine overheating, and catastrophic damage like warped heads or cracked blocks.

As a Torque-to-Yield bolt, the BY61200040452 is designed to be stretched to a precise point within its elastic limit. This controlled stretching provides a more consistent and reliable clamp load than a standard bolt tightened to a simple torque value.

The performance of the BY61200040452 directly impacts engine power, fuel efficiency, emissions, and long-term reliability. It is a consumable component during any engine rebuild and must always be replaced with a new, genuine part.

Installation Guide & Maintenance Best Practices

Installation Procedure (TTY Bolts)

1. Clean all bolt holes in the engine block thoroughly using a thread chaser. Ensure no debris, oil, or old thread locker remains. Wipe the threads of the new BY61200040452 bolts with a clean cloth.

2. Lightly lubricate the bolt threads and underside of the bolt head ONLY with the lubricant specified in the service manual (often engine oil or a specific moly paste). Do not over-lubricate.

3. Place the cylinder head gasket and head onto the block. Hand-thread all BY61200040452 bolts to ensure they are not cross-threaded.

4. Using a calibrated torque wrench, tighten all bolts in the manufacturer’s specified sequence to an initial torque value (e.g., 50 Nm).

5. In the same sequence, tighten all bolts again to a final torque value (e.g., 100 Nm).

6. Finally, using an angle torque gauge, turn each bolt in the specified sequence by the exact angle (e.g., 90 degrees). This is the yield stage.

7. Do not perform any additional tightening. The BY61200040452 bolts are now correctly tensioned. Proceed with the rest of the assembly.

Critical Maintenance Notes

NEVER REUSE TTY BOLTS: The BY61200040452 is a one-time-use fastener. Once torqued to yield, its metallurgical properties are altered. Reuse will not provide the correct clamp load and will likely lead to failure.

• Always replace the entire set of cylinder head bolts when servicing the head. Mixing old and new bolts is unacceptable.

• Always follow the exact tightening sequence provided by SHACMAN. This sequence is designed to clamp the head evenly and prevent warping.

• Use only the specified lubricant. Incorrect lubrication changes the friction coefficient, leading to incorrect clamp load (too high or too low).

• After installation, these bolts do not require re-torquing. The TTY method provides a permanent, stable clamp load.

• Keep a detailed service record, noting the use of genuine BY61200040452 bolts and the installation procedure followed.

Warning: Deviation from the specified procedure for the BY61200040452 can result in immediate or latent engine failure, including blown head gaskets, coolant contamination, and severe mechanical damage. Precision is paramount.

Why Genuine SHACMAN BY61200040452 is Non-Negotiable

Choosing the genuine BY61200040452 bolt is a critical decision that affects the entire engine’s lifespan. SHACMAN engineers these bolts with exact material properties, dimensions, and coatings.

Aftermarket bolts may have similar thread size but often differ in steel grade, heat treatment, tensile strength, or coating. These differences can lead to under-torquing, over-torquing, premature stretching, or breakage.

The genuine BY61200040452 undergoes rigorous batch testing for hardness, tensile strength, fatigue life, and coating uniformity. This ensures every bolt in the set behaves identically, creating even clamping force.

The specialized coating on the BY61200040452 is designed for a specific friction coefficient. This is essential for the torque-to-angle tightening method to work correctly and achieve the designed clamp load.

Using non-genuine bolts voids any related engine warranty and poses an extreme risk of catastrophic failure. For the engine’s most critical fasteners, only the authentic BY61200040452 provides the required assurance.
