always replace head bolts as they are stretch bolts only for one use not two!  |

I've used the same headbolts several times.
They dont 'stretch' in the way you are thinking. |

they don;t go porous neither do red tops, red tops crack, gary on mig cut one up to show it in all its glorty, the costcast head is about twice as thick in the area they crack.
Thing is onyl way to see is cut it open, when they get sleeved then basically shove a pipe in to cover the crack. |
