If I have the chance I would prefer new ones, now that I will spend so much money on the engine job anyway.

Isn't there an Fel-Pro set with at least some matching 1/2-13 bolts?

What I need is:
- 1/2-13x2-1/2, 8 pcs
- 1/2-13x4-5/8, 6 pcs
- 1/2-13x4, 4 pcs
- 1/2-13x4 with 3/8-UNF thread on top, 2 pcs

I already tried to find them on Rockauto with the original partnumbers from the master catalogue, with no luck. Same on the Fel-Pro catalogue, looks like FelPro doesn't have single bolts at all, just sets

OR - if any of you can honestly say "just use normal grade 8 bolts, worked fine on my engine the last 20 years", I would get them. The only problem I see here, is that standard grade 8 bolts dont have the thickening below the head, since the holes in the cylinderheads are bigger...
