  • Head bolts

    Does anyone know if the 10 head bolts on the B3 are reusable? I have to rebuild my engine and the only place I have found headbolts are from my local Kia dealer for $150.00.

    Thanks in advanced,

    Yes they are. I reused mine and have 20K+ miles with no issues.

        Wow, $150!!! that's crazy. Usually you would want to replace them because they would be stretched, but they will still work for sure!

          Well you could always O ring the block use a copper head gasket and install ARP Studs and nuts,ya that should do it.This might be a little over kill, but hey no more streched head bolts. Just pullin your leg.
          An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.
