[Vwdiesel] 81 Head Bolts

[The President]

Rudy here's a little trick...
Take two of these 'wierd bolts and place them side by side '69' fashion.
If they are stretch bolts the part of the thread that was exposed should be 
stretched and daylight wil show through the mismatch.
Pair all bolts the same way and see if some have stretched  more than 
others...
