Quote: 3. I can't stand bolts for holding down aluminum heads rocker shafts and would look for quality studs long enough to work, instead.
i can't for the life of me understand why people use bolts here. all you need to do is figure the length needed and order them from ARP or there are vendors that sell kits with studs and superior hold downs to the stock stamped stuff
personally i would NEVER use bolts in an aluminum head and only consider it with an iron head. i've seen so many damaged threads from people cranking down valve gear and it's a PITA to fix half azz properly
