Default Re: Replace head bolts?

What if he wants a bone stock factory correct replacement with correct markings ???

I honestly can't say if they make "new" old style head bolts or not, but I'd be VERY leary using old bolts...I recently had 2 head bolts, less than 2 years old, snap on the L72 in our Camaro (Manley brand)...1 broke from just normal(!) driving, the other broke after I installed the head repairing the first boo-boo...both times required an easy-out, and major "hiney" puckering. You never know where a used bolt has been, or how many times it's been torqued/stretched...besides, if you decide to use an aftermarket bolt, once you spray it orange, how many people will notice? I'd rather know my heads are tight and are gonna stay that way than have a used, yet correct, looking bolt...but hey, that's just me! LOL!!
