  This sounds as if you're planning on reusing those head bolts??  BIG
no-no!  They are a non reusable bolt.  It's been gotten away with but
with one broken and others rusting don't even think about it.  New ones
are about $20 or so for a set or Raceware is getting close to $200 but
still worth it.
