Posted March 3, 201114 yr comment_348059 I'm in the process of having the head reworked and believe I should replace the head bolts when I reassemble. I have a 71 240 whith a L24 and E31 head. I am having new valves, seats, guides, seals and springs installed so as to allow the use of unleaded without issue but am having questions about the head bolts. Since I can't find the factory originals - what mfgr should I trust? and is this absolutley necessary? Thanks for any info avail.
