Maybe I'm misreading it, but performancemotorcars.com has them for $8.31/each or something like that. Am I seeing things or are you just making me wonder how in the world I'm going to afford a conversion?!!!

Check on head studs, $38 is frighteningly high for a head bolt, they are 20vt specific though...

Default i know there are much less expensive sources out there...
i just thought i'd share the dealership price with you, just so my jaw wasn't the only one on the floor!

Default Stretch bolts, cannot be reused...
tightening technique is yield to torque, stage 3 1/2 turn.

Cheers,
