Or...you may want to do a combustion leak test with one of

RE: Overheating????
If you do replace your bolts, go w/ ARP head studs. They are reusible b/c they tq down on the head itself, not the stud/shaft of the bolt. Best $75 I ever spent on ebay.

+1^^ Regular bolt set will cost you at least 50 bucks each time...I like the stud idea also.
