Please pardon my uninformed question on this subject. On my early-2000s 9-5s, Saab recommended replacing the stretch head bolts to prevent head gasket leaks. Sometimes one would find the head bolts to be alarmingly loose during this procedure. Would there be any use in trying to replace the head bolts to stem head gasket oil leaks in later 9-5s? A set of bolts isn’t that expensive and the procedure is rather simple, especially if the camshaft cover gaskets are already being replaced.
