i hope you're refering to the length. one is longer and the othere is shorter. why do you want new bolts?

there is 2 on each injector. when you remove the injector you only remove one. and the ring slides off of the othere one.

well it's a 10mm head. you don't need to torque them down to 680 ft/ lb. so they really shouldn't be stretched...
