Stretch Bolts for Head on 20R?

Guest 9 May 2005 16:36:34
 I am replacing the head gasket on my 1978 toyota pickup with the 20R
engine. I wanted to use a new set of head bolts, but I am unable to
find any for sale.

I have always used new head bolts on other cars because they were
"stretch" bolts and could only be used once. Is it possible that the
20R engine does not use stretch bolts and it is ok to reuse the old
head bolts?

Thanks,

Greg Shortridge

I'm pretty sure that engine did not use the bolts you are describing, called
plastic region bolts by Toyota.

 My '79 Celica (20R) manual does not mention using new bolts when replacing
the heads. Sounds like you'd be OK to re-use them HTH
