4V Head Bolts

Um dude, you have to take the head off when you change the bolts anyway. You have to change the head gasket. If you didn't, then you are going to get leaks.

You are making the assumption that the motor has ran with the current head bolts and head gasket... Pretty safe assumption 99% of the time but not in this case.

The bolts are supposed to be replaced. You can get a headgasket kit by Ford Racing from Brothers Performance for $120, it comes with the bolts unlike most other kits that cost even more at other places. You should be able to get to all bolts for the driver side exhaust manifold, but you might as well unhook the passenger manifold to muffler when you remove the head so you can take the manifold with it. I did it when I changed my head gaskets last month.
Oh and like others are asking...why are you doing the bolts? If you have oil in your coolant, check your oil cooler. Might not actually be the gaskets...starting to think I did that job for nothing.
