I currently have the bulk of my engine tin off and have ruined a few of the cheesehead screws. I am contemplating whether or not to simply buy some new cheeseheads from the local VW place and make sure to use anti-sieze on them, or should I replace the cheeseheads with another type of fastener altogether.

Any suggestions? BTDT?
