I've just bought some more head bolts as I've just completed some heads mods. I've found that its best to buy Vauxhall issue head gaskets as they are better. I've also been advised to always use Vauxhall issue head bolts by the head tuner. So I go and buy some - not too expensive - only to find that they've changed the boltheads to some poxy queer little hexy head type of design that needs a special socket to fit them. Why do they do this - and its not just Vauxhall. Lets face it they just don't like us doin anything to our cars 'cept drivin them x-(x-(x-(

Yeah and you probably can't get the socket cheap either!

Fuck using Vauxhall parts.......after-market parts are often made by the same manufacturer, so it should make no difference.
