pretty sure you can buy new head bolts from the US but there expensive and geting the old ones out is extreamly hard
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Pretty sure mick Motors stocks those studs.
If not,
you could try Raceware. They used to make a special stainless steel kit.

Hi Dave

The hard part is getting the old studs out, apparently its easier if the motor is freshly opened up, once the case dries out they lock in harder.

The ones I have done I cut them off close to the case with a 90 degree air grinder,
then drill them out and re-tap or case saver if needed. M12 x 1.5

YES a real pain in the AR$E!
