Hi folks, just picked up a engine gasket kit for an 2001 XR8 and on the packet it says "Replace Head Bolts". Is this the norm?
I have been playing with Windsors for longer than I care to admit publicaly and very rarely replaced a head bolt. Is the roller block a bit more finnicky? cheers.

Not that I am aware of and even FoA don't suggest replacing the bolts and they usually will when it needs to be done.
Cheers Russ

Thanks for that Russell. It did seem odd.
