    5.3 head bolts

    On a stock motor, can I reuse the head bolts? Thanks.

    nope. I guess its possible but highly recommended not to. If you are planning on swapping heads a few times, get some arp bolts bc you can reuse the hell out of them. But if you are just swapping once and arent going with boost then new factory TTY bolts will work just fine

    its not that much more just to get arp bolts, but DO NOT re use the head bolts. they will probably work for a very short period of time but WILL cause problems
    its just a turbo 5.3 that a couple of kids threw together
