Title: head bolts
Post by: mstickler on 04 August 2009, 13:13:23

could anyone tell me if I could get away with using the old head bolts when I do my head gasket or do I need to get new one ?

I would replace the bolts as recommended , simply because they are designed to stretch and therefore are only good for one use.
