head bolts

[mik]

useless had a thread about head gasgets, i thought i would get some thoughts on replacement head bolts, im thinking of giving mine a freshen up this year, and just wondering if any falc six guys are using arp head bolts, thoughts opinions welcome,

falcon headbolts are torque bolts, which means u need to replace them every time u do a headgasket no matter what brand.

i used Au falcon headbolts for my rebuild no worries

yep exactly evilcheif, i was wondering if we could replace the standards with arp bolts better qaulity better clamping force etc etc, my brother uses them on his supra engines he wont use anything else, have any of the inline6 ford guys used them, results comments always better if we can improve on factory if possible _2:

other then they may be better quality and may be less likely to break when being removed like has happened to a few people recently, it makes no difference if you use an AUII metal head gasket and new bolts and everything is square and clean, should be no problems.
