there is alot of speculation over this, some say you dont need to strengthen a corsa bay if its solid, unless going over 400bhp..

they dont strech that much plus they will be no where near as tight as they were in a head.

there not anywhere as near as tight as they would be in the head so will be fine.

also when you tighten down the head its to hold it down within a tolerance etc, these plates just need to be tight if you get me??

anyways got an update in abit for you
