Head bolt question.
I am sure several of you have followed my engine saga. I had a local mechanic take a look at it and he said it was a head gasket.
I have heard that you should not use the head bolts again. Is this correct? Should I buy a new set or what? any other thoughts? Any recommendations for the head gaskets themselves? thanks Ron

Yes, get new headbolts they can stretch and give false torque readings or even fail. As far as gaskets I would go with FEL-PRO.
