go argue with toyotec if you think its a bad idea, while you're there try telling him that he shouldnt be reusing head bolts either. been running several turbo conversions like that for well over a year

I'm not going to argue either way, and you certainly cant argue with the results he gets

9a could have either a KR or ABF type head, as I say check the casting part number. generally the type of rocker cover fixings are a givaway, bolts = kr head, nuts = abf head. but check the casting to be sure.
