Need a lil DOHC ZC help!

Hey! I just swaped a D16A6 with a DOHC ZC! I just did some port matching on the head. Can i use the same head bolts again??

You aren't supposed to, but if you're not making some kind of crazy power, you can get away with it. Just be certain to torque them in the right order, and to proper spec.

Last time I checked, the head bolts were only a couple bucks a piece. It's well worth the money to get new ones--at least it will provide some piece of mind.

But I'm with Phyre--if you aren't doing much else with the car, I suppose you could reuse them provided you checked everything to make sure it was to spec.
