Reading the Toyota service manual , they don't say to renew the head bolts when the head is off.
Is it nessary to replace the bolts?

I did cause the head planers said I had to, I wasn't arguing with the guys in the know

Ive heard that you are supposed to renew them, but they are some rediculous price to buy

bought 20 odd something new ones for my 1HD-T
they were not too badly priced
I got told that most head bolts were one time use things, so must be replaced if the head is off
not worth the risk if thats the case
