Yes they should have washers. All aluminum heads should have washers.

I bought the indy EZ head kit years ago and there were no washers with the supplied bolts, still have them . This is also an older kit, probably 12-13 years old. The Manley bolts are a flange head style that could be used with out washers. The concern is, if I add the washers, will the thread engagement be enough. BUT, if it didn't have washers to begin with, it has worked just fine for all these years with out them, not really trying to re-invent something here. Brian

Their bolts are a lowest bidder type That's why Indy was using them. And Indy's "cut to size" pushrods were crap too.

I remember the first time I got a kit of parts from Indy, roughly 25 years ago. Set of EZ heads and they came with the Manley bolts. The engine builder I was working with at the time looked at the Manley bolts, tossed them in the recycle bin and told me to buy some ARP bolts.
