Default 1993 4.0 Head Bolts

Got a question for you all.... Found out I needed to replace my head gasket due to it failing. Also found out that my head is cracked as well from the machine shop. They have found me one but I am having a problem finding the correct head bolts to replace the old ones. All I am finding is bolts for a 96 and up.... Do they make a head bolts set for 93.... My Head is a 7120. I cannot find anything except for buying the bolts separately and I am not sure those are the correct ones.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the old bolts? They can be reused once. If you are not certain about yours or know they have been reused you might consider salvage yard parts. If bolts have been reused the standard procedure is to put a paint mark on the head of the bolt. Professionals should do that, the average guy probably will not.
Also check ARP web site: https://arp-bolts.com/kits/make.php?...EngModelID=273
You might have to verify if a set matches or is close to yours.
DO NOT use standard hardware store bolts.

Also check Napa. They show part number BKN EDE8533 but out of stock for ship to home. You might find a store that can get them from their network. They are not inexpensive however.

Put the old ones back in.

I'd trust used factory bolts over some "new" chinese crap.

Good point, sir! It's not like the 4.0L uses torque-to-yield head bolts anyway.
