Head bolts

If I pull the heads will I need new head bolts when I bolt them back on? I have heard of them streching? Thanks Rich

I think the 7.3 head bolts will be OK.
The 6.9 with 7/16" headbolts were the ones that strech bad.

Just measure the length, if they are all the same go for it. Remember to bottom tap the bolt holes for dirt and clean the threads. Use some engine oil on the bolt threads.
