Is this a OHC engine?

I dunno if you have done it, but while the heads off it would be an easy time to replace springs and what not.

For how little they cost I wouldn't ever want to reuse any of the critical bolts on a motor. Once the bolts are installed and torqued down they stretch, they pull a little bit more when you take them out too. So if you go through another tightening sequence, they are pretty much used up.
