Can you swap out head bolts one at a time and not have to change out the gasket?
« on: March 05, 2021, 01:58:12 PM »
I am still building up my 292 y block.  Found out the stock 1956 bolts that I used are grade 5-6, and tend to stretch.  I want to change out to grade 8 bolts.  They are new gaskets, motor has never been fired.  The are Best Gasket brand head gaskets, some kind of graphite composite material.  If I change out the bolts one at a time will the gaskets still be OK?
