re head gasket

I want to know if I should change head bolts with new ones or use my old one? This is the second time in three months I dont know what went wrong the first time.

A little more info on your situation and truck would probably bring more replies, as so people can give you accurate advice

If this is going to be the third time they will have been used I would definatly get new ones and while you have the head off I would see about an O-ring job.

I don't see any profile of truck as far as power output, but like I said on the other post, torque from center front, center back. Head bolts are fine up to 400 hp. Studs aren't necessary.
