- Fri Nov 15, 2013 12:28 pm #338891 Hey everyone I just had a quick question I'm in the process of changing my head gasket on my 95 civic cx hatch with a d15 in it and I was wandering if the head bolts were torque to yield or not because Oreillys or auto zone don't have them and if they are not should I reuse them? And if not where can I get new head bolts at and around how much are they? Any info as soon as possible is greatly appreciated due to this being my daily driver I need it fixed asap

I'd hate to have to change them out later on due to a leaking head gasket. Last time I checked prices at a dealer (10 years ago) new head bolts were $9 each. So instead I spent $120 on ARP Headstuds.
