Head Bolts

[drsvox]

Quick question:

Rebuilding and want to replace the head bolts. Ones that came off are a mix of Nedloy and Kamax. My question is: am I ok to buy 10.9 steel off the shelf (boltdepot.com), or should I go with something more specialized; and if more specialized, can you point me where to get them...?

Thanks for the help,
Chris

Do NOT buy off the shelf bolts to use as head bolts. They do not have the correct properties to do the job.

Here are some actual head bolts.

perfect...thanks very much; I suspected as much (about not buying ots), but obviously I was not sure.

I appreciate the help!
