I'm going to be doing my headswap soon and I was wondering if I could reuse the front timing cover bolts and studs or do I have to get new ones? Also, can I reuse my header bolts? Thanks.

nah, you can resuse the cam sprocket bolts as well. I have reused them twice now with no problems. The head bolts are the only ones that definately can not be reused.

the PI cam bolts are different from the non PI so yes you will need new ones.

Thanks alot for the replies. I already have the new cam cap bolts so I don't need to buy new ones.
