>"And im hoping your not reusing the stock head bolts....."<
Bought a set of ARP bolts, not studs. Discovered that 10 of the 14 won't go into the head w/o grinding clearance into the bolt area. All 4 end bolts go in fine. So I used 4 of the ARP's and 10 stock bolts--all just torqued tonight to 72 ft. lb. I really don't think the ARP bolts/studs solve anything. The stock bolts don't stretch (other than elastically just like the ARP's). The stock gasket crushes over time/heat and that's why the bolts get loose. Anyone ever BREAK a stock bolt?
