Putting a head on a 7fb. Should I replace head bolts? I
have no engine history, other than last person to work on it does not know how to drill manifold bolts out.

I vote replace, but have reused hundreds at this point.

If it has a dent, pit, stretched/bottlenecked, chuck'em all if you are comfortable with the expense.

If there is no visible damage, reuse is okay. Any corrosion I would replace those as well.

Another thing I like to watch/feel for is if they come up on torque evenly. Have a few new ones on had for if some take more rotation than others.

That low of compression and stock power will probably be ok. In the previous guys defense those could have been the stainless manifold studs they tried for a while.

No they weren't, because ports one and two still had pieces in there. When they got to the head they quit and tapped them out 5/16. Then rammed bolts in with a impact.

So, I guess there's been some local super trucker excitement today. High speed pursuit on 161/16. Wife called me on my way to work to see if I'd taken 161 or 70 today, 70 btw. Sent me some screenshots from Facebook about it. Curious if anyone knows anymore?Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.

That’s more exciting that the one on 30 a few weeks ago. Guy stole a Volvo daycab and the cops ended up shooting him. Can you imagine completely embarrassing your family forever by dying in a Volvo?

Suspect in semi chase named by authorities

Overview of the event, looks like a Peterbuilt. I guess it's good I didn't put money on the driver, I figured it was one of them no English speaking euro boys! No front tires at all when he finally ditched the truck!
