What were the bolts, what was the torque, and what lube was used to install the heads?

Machine shop said 3 thou cleaned up the heads and that it doesn't take much at all to let these mls gaskets between layers.
Valves/seats/seals all good.
We will check bolts.

Bolts are ARP, used Arp thread lubricant. Don't have tq specs here with me .
Gary is wondering is he left a little water or fluid in the bolt holes that compressed and we didn't get actual tq values.
Im not sure, wasn't there when they were torqued. Will be this time with my torque wrenches etc.
Just has to be right for three more dates, which is actually 4 races.
Then end of the season dyno pulls, after that we pull it down, box up the parts that are coming to you.
Cylinder walls all look good but, time for a rebuild even if we weren't going to the new block.
We looked really good to see if anything "kissed" since pistons are out of the hole so far.

Hopefully you are going to retest the leak down on it after reassembly and maybe running it long enough to get some heat in it, aren't you work scope twocents

My bets are that there will still be air in the crankcase on a leak down.
