Re: head bolt help please
You dont need new headbolts to change a head gasket, unless you messed up the threads. Honda head bolts are not stretch bolts and are also not recommended by Honda to be replaced. "Its in the manual" I replaced my head gasket 2 months ago and reused bolts and no problems. Don't waste your money. I would however replace the valve steam seals while you have the head off. My .02
