Buy new bolts. You can use the old ones, but if the leaking has led to
overheating then new ones are better.

Toyota or HKS are good. Felpro if the car (or truck...) is being rebuilt
on a budget to get through the next winter or two...

Ya know, I wish people would realise how much they're wasting by
re-using torqued bolts. Both in re-repairs and compression loss.[color=blue]

LOL! Well, that's the best fix for the 7M-GE and the 7M-GTE, but the 22R
wasn't as prone to throwing the damn things as the Supra/Cressida!!

And as far as new bolts, I'm with you there! If you're going to go to all
the trouble of tearing the engine down, do it right!!!
