Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Geo Metro 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I purchased and am replacing the gaskets from the head cylinder up, the problem that I have found is that I cannot locate replacement head bolts for this engine. It is the 1.6l 4-cyl. in a 1996 Geo Metro LSI. Is it OK to use the existing bolts or do I need to have them made.

Clean out the bolt threads and the bolts themselves then torque it down as a specified.
