Default Northstar Head Bolt Question

I think I read somewhere that the Norhstar head bolt size was enlarged and that this change pretty much eliminated the thread-pulling issues on this engine and resulting head gasket failure
[ul][*]Is this true?[*]If true what year did this change occur[/ul]
I am looking for another Caddy and would like to avoid the head gasket issues on an othersie great car.

Thanks guys for a great Forum

Rich
