I find this thread to be hilarious.

It's 15.5mm 17point. I have absolute authority on this.

Aren't they stretch bolts that shouldn't be re-used? Or can they be?
Anyone know?

Do not re-use head bolts. Replace them with new bolts or buy a set of ARP studs.

Braineack and I have both reused stock head bolts on 1.6 motors. I see no reason why you could not reuse them. I would still recommend changing to ARP studs if you are doing an engine build.

Ok, last question:

If I separate the block and head, will it fit in the back of a Honda Civic?

Thanks
