Head Bolt options ??

[DarrellV]

Anyone replace their head bolts with something other than stock ones? I hate the thought of putting my motor back together with these nasty rusty stock head bolts. I know I can buy new stock ones, but they will rust again as well. I know I can go with head bolt covers, but I'm not real big on covers. Wondering if anyone has a link to some they have bought and used and are happy with.

Chrome head bolts from your HD dealer, part # 16480-92A, order 4, about $5.00 each retail. They are OEM on '06 & up IIRC, look good and seem to hold up OK.

If you have a lot of money to spend opt for the polished stainless steel ones available from Diamond Engineering !!

Yes, those are very nice but pricey as you say. I bought some a few years ago, IIRC somewhere around $120.

Gardner-Wescott makes some nice chrome one`s too.

06 and up do hold up fine. Had wrenches on mine at least 10 times, no rust.
