I'm thinking about replacing a leaking head bolt. Is there anything to this process other than removing the old bolt and replacing it with a new bolt that is sealed with the Bolt Prep stuff, and torquing it to spec? Do I have to loosen all of the head bolts and retorque in sequence? Anything else I should know? The bolt in question is on the upper right side of the passenger-side head of a 2.1l engine. -Mark McCulley ---------- >From: DHaynes57@aol.com[SMTP:DHaynes57@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, March 30, 1996 8:12 AM ========================================================================= Date: Sender: Vanagon Mailing List <vanagon@vanagon.com> From: Subject: Re: 87: follow up on leaking head In a message dated 96-03-28 00:49:50 EST, raven@halcyon.com (Mark McCulley) writes: > >To replace a head bolt, do you have to remove the head and do them all?
