I have reused the headbolts in mine, no dramas. i guess it's up to you, but you do risk snapping them when reusing them.

Hi There
Its your call, but with the alloy head, you really should have it machined ( re - surfaced ) as a bare minimum. Or at least get a long accurate straight edge and feeler gauges and check the surface is dead even. |
