replace headbolts when doing head gasket?

[quoccy]

I'm about to do a H/G on a 4age 16v and didn't know whether i should replace the head bolts or not
apparently i should, but i heard you can get away with not replacing them
last thing i want is a snapped head bolt

[rthy]

if ur ganna put like a high comp metal hg and increase comp and stuff then i might be worth while getting new headbolts,

but i know people who have reused holdbolts with no probs

[fixeruperer]

if there stretch bolts i would change them.

JUst get a set of ARP head bolts. Just an extra bit of insurance.
