Default Evo head bolts

So are new head bolts stainless steel? The head bolts on my Twinkie do not seem to rust, where the headbolts on my EVO are all chitty? Can I buy new stainless ones? Getting ready to do base gaskets might as well do the head bolts!

Well after some research, the head bolts on the Twinkie are the same part number as the Evo. Fueling sells ARP manufactured stainless steel head bolts for about 250 dollars a set...

Maybe try Diamond Engineering or Gardner Westcott.
