As above ;-)

What is the recommendation? I am changing my heads and want to know if it is OK to use the original head bolts.

Thanks in advance

Default Head bolts

I always change the head bolts no matter what the engine im working on,as its not worth takeing the chance of fitting bolts that could have stretched or even been over tightened before.
