A magnesium crankcase requires aluminium screws/bolts exclusively.
Aluminium screws/bolts must be replaced each time they are released.
The end faces of aluminium screws/bolts are painted blue for the purposes of reliable identification Jointing torque and angle of rotation must be observed without fail (risk of damage).
