    Default Re-torque VS V6 head bolts? Yes or no?

    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.
