Replace/Upgrade TC88 HEAD BOLTS
Can I replace/upgrade my outer head bolts with stainless with the engine,cylinders and heads intact, without jeopardizing the torque and sealing of the engine components??? Thanks

I'm no expert, but all the mechanics/parts guys/whoever I've ever been around say don't jack with the head bolts unless you are ready to pull them all and re-torque. There are only 4 bolts holding that thing down. If you loosen on of them, that's an entire corner of the head that isn't torqued anymore.
I might be wrong, but I'll never replace a bolt on mine without removing the entire head and replacing/re-torquing them all. YMMV
