Hey all.
I just replaced the head gaskets on my VS Commodore 3.8L, using a VRS head gasket kit. I used new head bolts manufactured by Victor Reinz. Now the leaflet in the gasket kit said to re-torque head bolts after 1000km's if using reusable bolts. If using single use bolts then a retorque is not required. Now my confusion is, are Victor Reinz bolts single or reusable bolt. Or should I just retorque anyways.
Any help would be appriciated.
Welcome to the forum.
I'd say they are single use bolts which reinz promote....see this link:

Thanks for the link. I'll have to agree with you there. It does appear no retorquing is the word.
