They are the original bolts...

This is stemming from a problem where coolant is leaking slightly into cyl #1. It was mentioned that I should try re-torquing the bolts first before jumping into replacing the hg since the problem just started, and the '97 and '98 years are notorious for head bolts loosening up over time. The new design of the bolts for those years was not a good upgrade, hence why you should replace those bolts with the "new" old style when replacing the hg altogether.
I guess I should look at the word "re-torque". It means to re-do the torque-applying sequence, thus starting from a loosened bolt. I will go back to the car and do that, but just on the bolts surrounding cyl #1 (where the problem is).
