Should have said in the last post, it doesn't mention in the manual if new
head bolts should be used on account of the old ones being stretched. Perhaps someone else could comment to let our friend know!
Keep smiling J.

You have to use new head bolts, since they are "stretch" bolts. If you try to tighten them up twice, you'd 'stretch' them twice and snap them the 2nd time!
