I had a 34 ford pickup that drove back to WY I replaced one head gasket but not the other thinking it looked good later on in WY we found that the side that was not replaced was completely shot. I learned a good lesson just because a gasket looked good on the outside rim doesn't mean it's not shot in the middle. I always replace gaskets that subjected to heat as they will come back to haunt you later. Most bolts on the old stuff are grade 3 that's the ones with no markings. Some companies like cat will put their name on the them and you can get these from any cat dealer. Look for marks on the head of the bolt no mark grade 3, 2 marks at 90 deg. Stainless, 3 marks grade 5, 6 marks grade 8 the hardest of the bolts used for heads and places that need a good strong bolt. On some bolts you will see 4140 these are very hard and only used on tractors like cats. If you want the tractor to look nice replace all of the bolts its a small cost and you won't have one breaking later on. Don't use cadmium bolts as the paint won't stick good to them. Remember if it looks like the one that you take out then it is most likely correct. But be carefully on the hood some times you need a carriage bolt. Walt
