      The long head bolds are Very Special. They act like springs
      to expand and contract with temperature. To replace them with
      anything else except the same thing would be a disaster. The
      reason this one broke, my guess would be, that it never had
      the head gaskets replaced, but it had the "recall", whitch is
      over torching the head bolts.
