OK, here is the deal on the head bolts. They are not torque to yeild. They CAN be re-used, and for the most part any IDI ever serviced for head gaskets by a dealer, you can bet your bottom dollar they used the old bolts. The service information specifically lists a HIGHER torque value for the 7.3 used bolts, versus new, where as the service info for the 6.9 does not. Also, the 6.9 manual says 75 foot pounds. Period. It's a well known fact though that most of us take them to 85, because all the turbo kit makers recommend it. Here is why we always say to use new head bolts. - They are;
1) Whimpy
2) Exposed to the weather
3) Whimpy.
Did I mention whimpy? If you look carefully at the heads, you will see that the outboard side head bolts actually pass through the top of the head, into open air, and then back into the head. Those bolts will rust where they are exposed, and their diameter becomes degraded. Between the constant temperature extremes, the potential for them to get stretched out, the need to jack up the torque, and the feeling that when you are torquing them down, that one of them is going to snap off any minute, would you really want the 20 to 23 hours you may have invested in a head gasket job to be at risk because you used old head bolts? By the way, replace the washers too. I was a dummy and used new bolts with old washers. Had a washer break during the final torque sequence. Talk about penny wise and pound foolish! Learn from others mistakes. Just use new, or better yet get the studs!
