Going to check the head gasket for leaks. I need to know it the head bolts are the one time use stretch bolts or can I reuse my old bolts? Thanks

I dunno of any modern day head without yield type, one use head bolts. Hammer mechanics do get away with reusing them. It depends on how reliable you want it to be.

I use them over, if you don't mind the price, change them.

I agree. They're not very expensive. Just change 'em.

Yep might as well, if you going to spend or allready spend lot of money and then just for not changing the bolts it might cost you a lot
