It doesn't say to replace the head bolts in the Subaru manual

My engine has been working for 4 1/2 years with new head gaskets and the original bolts. Just follow the Subaru procedure for tightening them to the letter.

Rich, he's done it already.
For other viewers:
No-where in the Scooby manual do they say to change the bolts. Scooby are very specific on their illustrations as what to change. Just lube the old bolts with oil and re-use
