and inspected the bolt length in order to determine whether needed replacement. none did. if you can tell if it's leaking out just below the head gasket, I'm betting the retorque will do it. even on a newer model. mine was 1999 but the leak didnt start until a couple years ago!
good luck. happiest $200 I ever paid (vs $1400 pulling the head off!)
BTW, I have a good Euro Indie but he knew nothing about the retorque even when I showed him the bulletins. he still got me for $150 diag fee (bogus!) but I went to the now closed Vero dealer.
