Head Bolts???
Does any one know if its a good idea to reuse the stock head bolts after you have removed the heads? I went to the GM dealership today and to different part numbers for head bolts and neither part number called for the correct number of bolts......

good point from everyone, but does anyone have the part numbers narrowed down? The GM Parts Garage has two different engine makes for the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 engine sizes. One showed 16 bolts, the other showed 20 bolts....I only took out 15!!!!!!!!
you must have dropped one or something, should be the same number of bolts in each head
