Default How Many Times Have You ...
Reused The Stock Headbolts ?

Ive Got Two Heads, Both Sets Of Bolts Have Been Reused Once ...

Think I Could Get Another Squeeze Out Of A Set ? Or Don't Risk It ?

And I'm Beyond Broke, Or I'd Go Buy New Ones

Just add the 5lbs torque to makeup for stretching and remember to chase the threads on the block

Whoa, Chase The Threads - What Is That ? LOL ...

Reason I Ask that Is This Would Be The Third Time Ive Yanked The Head Off Any Motor
