I need to know if these head bolts get replaced, or did I (stupidly) toss out my old ones. I assumed since the head is aluminum, that the engine it torque to yeild, but now I cannot find the bolts to replace them, did I pull a major SNAFU? Or am I just going to have to go to the dealer?

Yes, toss them sucka's in da trash. They are torque to yield bolts and your have to replace them. Or just get a set of ARP studs but at about $250 I think the $50 for the stock bolts are just fine.
