Head bolts

[karlj]

What size are the cylinder head bolts? I've looked through the Haynes manual but can't find anything

They're 10mm hex iirc.

While were talking about head bolts, can you reuse them, or do you need to buy new ones each time you take it off?

According to Haynes you can, but I'm replacing everything so I won't be
