How many sets do I need?

Can I reuse my original head bolts?
Some head bolts are designed for one use only. Check your vehicle's service information for the correct bolts, the tightening sequence, the torque values, and whether the originals may be reused.
When should head bolts be replaced?
Head bolts are often replaced when the cylinder head is removed, such as during a head gasket replacement or head service. Thread damage, stretching or corrosion on the old bolts are other signs a new set may be needed.
