I'm working on an '89 XJ for my Nephew. The engine is a remanned 4.0 (don't know how long ago it was rebuilt, but that's a moot point). I'm replacing the head gasket and from everything I've seen I'm supposed to replace the head bolts after their second use. I don't know if they were replaced during the rebuild, but just to be safe I'm going to go ahead and replace them. So this leads to my question. Where do you buy them, other than a dealership? I've been to 3 different parts stores today and they all had the same thing to say: "Hmm...that's weird. I can't get them. I can get them for almost anything else, just not that engine." Am I going to be stuck with paying the dealership's over inflated prices, or ARP's $100 price, or is there another stock replacement alternative for us low performance guys out here?
