Hello,

I was half way to finishing the replacement of a cylinder head on a 2004 Aveo, when I discovered an unopened bag of washers for the new head bolts. Somehow I missed them when I installed the new head bolts. Do I feel like an idiot!

Anyway, what do I do now? I'm pretty sure the head bolts will need to be replaced, but I'm wondering if the head gasket can be saved if I replace one bolt at a time?

The engine hasn't been started yet, if that makes a difference.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Ed.
