Subject:      RE: 87: follow up on leaking head

I'm thinking about replacing a leaking head bolt. Is there anything to this process other than removing the old bolt and replacing it with a new bolt that is sealed with the Bolt Prep stuff, and torquing it to spec? Do I have to loosen all of the head bolts and retorque in sequence? Anything else I should know?

The bolt in question is on the upper right side of the passenger-side head of a 2.1l engine.

You can replace one. Fel-pro sells a product called bolt prep. It is an excelent sealer and thread lubricant for this application.
