I didn't see a new set of head bolts in that list. The originals are basically one time use as they deform when torqued (designed to do that). Reusing them might work for a short time, but you'll end up replacing them anyways for a blown head gasket. While you have it torn apart, this is a good time to check the cylinder head and block surfaces with a straight edge. -Vegaman Dan -1968 Mk III "Giles" *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
