don't really get your question, but the head bolts have nothing to do with headers, and are not in the way of anything. same goes for head studs too.

You can re-use the stock bolts for the headers (if that is what you are asking)

Little confusing because you said head bolts in first post, but I get what you mean, header bolts.

When I went to install my pacesetter LTs I foudn there were no included header bolts so I contact the company I bought them from.. Ends up everybody just reuses the GM bolts with no problems so they stopped including them. For about 40-60$ you can get a set of header studs on ebay, but my bolts are holding up just fine.
