Head bolt replacement
Doing a rebuild on a 79 250, 400. About 150k on the engine. Local mechanic who I trust and who seems to know these engines says that I can reuse the original head bolts. I have heard from other sources that when servicing the heads you should always replace the bolts.
Also, I am replacing the cam and lifters. Same mech says I can re-use the push rods and rocker arms. Again, I have read elsewhere that when redoing the valve train you need to replace everything.
Thoughts?
Keep in mind I am a rookie. This is my first rebuild.
