right now i have a y8 block with a z6 head. may have ruined my Y8 head because i am not sure which head bolts to use Y8 head bolts on the Z6 head??? all Z6 bolts is not right. and i can get a Y7 Block so do i fix the Y8 or take the Y7 and if so do i use Y7 head bolts or then the Z6 head bolts???? thanks for the help

using the wrong bolts wouldn't have ruined the head, but it may have stripped the block. I've never put a z6 head on a y8 block so I can't say 100% sure which bolt combination is correct.
