After hoping beyond hope that I would not have to replace the head gasket (92 745T) - I am on my way to adventureland.

I ordered the Scan Tech kit from Groton - and a Felpro from a local supplier. Then I noted in the FAQ's that I needed to replace head bolts. So I called Groton back and ordered the 10 bolts from them - 30.00 for the ten.

They did not know about the TTY (torque to yeild) so - are the bolts that I ordered from them OK ??

Also, when I get the bolts torqued back down to specs - do I need to put an extra 1/2 turn to 'STRETCH' the bolts.

Thanks for being there.
