Re: I have a 1987 samurai and replacing the head but I'm...
By "yield" type, I guess you are talking about the single purpose bolts. Samurai bolts are not the tapered type. The manual says nothing and I have used them over often with good reults

90% of head bolts are stretched when installed. If you have the torque settings, you can confirm this by checking the specs. If it says example, 90lbs feet, plus a quarter turn, this confirms they are gonna stretch once torqued. In any case, yes, change those head bolts at all costs. DO NOT RE-USE THEM. Make sure to torque and in the order as well. do not use a random pattern when torqueing.
Check vehicle speed sensor or wiring,check engine light should be "on".If light not on bad speedo head in dash.If cable driven[unlikely] check for a broken cable from trans to dash.
Probably the combination switch, located in steering column, controls all lights. On ours, we lost all lights EXCEPT headlights, fuses and bulbs were all good. Replaced the switch yesterday (well, our Sidekick had two switches) and now all lights work fine. You need to pull the steering wheel to get at the switches. We got parts at a junkyard, but AutoZone also sold them at less than dealer prices.
