New head bolts for Alum. heads?
Should I get new bolts for my aluminum heads or could I use the ones that are already on the good ole' iron stockers?

Ive heard you're always supposed to get new bolts each time you install heads. I'd personally recommend going with studs as they are stronger and give you a better torque down.

I believe those bolts are torque to yeild, meaning one time use only. Do yourself a favor and grab a new set

Thanks everyone. I had a brainfart and remembered that head bolts are torque to yield bolts.
