This falls into the category of fool me once shame on you (and it wont 
happen again so no "fool me twice")...

I bought a set of really nice used U20 head bolts a few years ago when I 
thought I might need to rebuild at least the top end my U20. When the 
box came I didn't open it. I just put it with my (then) growing stack of 
U20 parts for the potential rebuild.

Fast forward a few years, an R16 stroker in progress, no more need for 
U20 parts and the start of the U20 part pile sell off to finance the 
stroker build: I opened the box of head bolts to take a picture and post 
on evilbay. What do I see? Only nine bolts. WTF!

So, a lesson learned that shouldn't have been needed.

Tim
