I'm told its wise not to reuse head bolts because they stretch or something. I'm not buying it. All bolts stretch, thats sorta how bolts work with torque and tension and such. Are we talking fatigue here? Any enlightenment is appreciated. (This is relating to replacing the head gasket on my 82' 320i).
