okay, after my trip to the engine shop a week ago, they told us that they re-use the factory head bolt and have no failure rate with the 100-150 diesels that they build every year.... so has any one looked at the possibility of finding a good replacement bolt that can be re-used like a stud? i know that the mazda millenia uses a super hard bolt to hold the girdle on the bottom of that motor... not the same size, but they are an excellent bolt to use when the starter bolt holes get too damaged, just pass the taps in the holes and drill out the starter and voila.. new much stronger bolts with an allen head...:thumbsup: anyways rant over...LOL
