He is asking a perfectly good question some say they don’t need changing on a standard motor as far as I know no need to be arsey about it
If you know different and want to answer fair enough if you want to be cocky about it don’t bother at all

No need to replace on a normal power motor.
They are not "stretch bolts" although the tightening sequence includes a torque and an angle, the bolts are not torqued enough to bring them to yield (yield being a point in steels where permanent deformation or stretch begins).

I contacted a VERY reputable tuning company when mine had it's head gaskets done recently, asking about uprated headgaskets and bolts. They sell both.
Their advice to me with 300bhp from a classic was to stick with standard for both.

Schoolboy/noob error is that
Think of an M Reg that's turquoise with orange and white graphics and look at the time attack photo's results from last year.
Also have a look at his latest car "The green goblin"
