Default Head bolts issue ?

I am trying to buy genuine Ford Head bolts direct from Ford but they are saying there are so many different types.

I have a 200 block with i believe a 2wd head on a E reg rwd sapphire cosworth with all 2wd stuff, manifolds and inlets stage 3 T34 etc...

The numbers they are given me are...

YBB0001
YBB6418
YBB6419

Can anyone tell me the correct bolts i need please even if the number is not above as he said theres more numbers listed

Also is there suck a thing as Ford Group A Bolts ?

Cheers!

And another thought the washers that go on the bolts they say they dont do them no more so can i reuse the old 1's off the old head bolts ?

Cheers again!

You can't remove the washers from the old bolts and fit them on the new bolts.

The head bolts you'll need are determined not by the block, but by the head. There are, as far as I know, only 2 different types of bolt - why Ford list 3 types, I don't know.

For the 2 types, the only difference is the diameter of the washer - commonly refered to as either being "large" or "small". Measure the diameter of the washers fitted to your engine, and give one of the recognised traders like Woodford a ring.
