Ahhh, that explains alot. I never understood why they recommended not re-using these types of bolts, because they looked fine to me when I looked at them, can't understand why, except maybe to make more $$$ off us. This even applies to the LT5 motors, the heads in particular.

Well thats all well and good, but what the heck are LT5 guys suppose to do because they don't sell or manufacture head bolts for our motors anymore! mad
