buyin new head bolts

By Ajax1989
- Sat Oct 02, 2010 6:00 pm #216442 ok i think i messed up my HG the other day, the car runs good, but it sputs like there is water in the cylinders like a misfire almost, it started after i overheated really bad.. long story

so i googled headstuds/bolts and found this

http://www.partsgeek.com/mmparts/head_bolt/honda/civic.html
its 75.40 for all 10

now my question is
is that a good price??
or is there somewhere else that has head bolts for sale

or just take my chances and reuse my old head bolts??

Thanks
AJ :thumb:

You can never reuse head bolts once they've been torqued. They stretch and people that try reusing them end up blowing their headgasket again shortly thereafter.

and if its correct the headbolts are the same for the two motors so something like

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARP-208-4301

should work. I'm double checking right now though cause im no d-series expert :)

Can't find any references atm .. also leaving work I'll try and check a bit when i get home!
