You hit my delima right on the head. Welcome to my headache. I have no idea about the bolts/threads. I do not know how long they have been used on the car or anything. I have no idea about the head surface, but since I am getting so much gracious advice to look at it I will pay special attention to it this time around. Do you happen to know if there are special (dumb question I know ) bolts for the exhaust manifolds or where to get them?
I miss my car so much, but I want to be very thorough this time.
