Hi I have had many heads off customer tractors over the years I have been fixing. I always clean and check every bolt or hole, stud or nut before I put the thing back together, some bolts have a stretch spec for length measurement also. As I have said in posts before tractors that have been apart before can have a failure again shortly after if nothing related to the head fixing is cleaned properly, because of damaged threads or junk causing bolts to bottom and not torque the head down. Or the same with damaged threads giving a false reading. this should be basic 101 motor rebuild class, but in some cases I guess its to much work for guys. Ièm with the check clean everything and put it back idea. Not sure if stainless bolts will torque and react the same as the ordinary bolts, so they might cause more problems than they solve . Regards Robert
