The head already has arp bolts/studs whatever the difference is.i dont have a socket that will remove them.

???

Bolts have heads on them, while studs do not. You use nuts on the top of studs.

I could have made clearance for the ARP bolts, but I didn't want to do any grinding while the head was on, and I sure wasn't going to pull it back off. So I just reused the stock head bolts.

Well its off now. Do you guys think these scratches will be a problem with the new hg.

That should be resurfaced! Those "minor erosion cuts" are in the worst possible direction--a sure future leak path.

Damn, i was hoping it wouldnt be that bad. Whats a good place to get it resurfaced for cheap?

Finally put it back together. put a new head gasket and water pump just because. but its putting out even more smoke than before. when i got the head back from the machinist it had ridges the whole way across the surface. was it supposed to be like that? also its shooting out smoke from the pcv and theres a lot of pressure in the valve covers.am i going to have to take it apart again and have the head reresurfaced? did i not torque it right, i put it to 75 ft/lbs.
this sucks ass
