The big end bolts on the Speedy engine in my Nippy are rather different from standard bolts - see pictures
The pin which locates in a slot in the big end casting ensures that the bolt cannot turn and the chamfered side of the bolt head always faces outwards and clears the crankcase and/or the cam shaft.
The two bolts in the photo are old ones. They have more massive heads and pins than the newer ones
Does anyone know whether new bolts like this are still available?
