head bolts and summitracing I just made the head gasket post but i have another issue. I have no head bolts so i called summit to see if they were reusable arp's. They said yes, but no more that 3 times, which is $155. the GM torque to yield ones are $38, which x3 = $114. I am only running the Z06 package, nothing fierce. What should i do? DD car.

Considered using studs (ARP)? That's what I went with and they worked great.
Seemed easier to do than using bolts as well.
Plus you don't have to clean bolt holes each time...which is always good.

My 2 cents, I don't think ARP head bolts are worth the $$$$$. All LS1/LS6 motors are built with GM head bolts, when did they fail? I think ARP bolts are worth the money in certain applications, but not here, again just my 2 cents.......

You can...I've done my last two sets with them. It does appear that it'll be close, but they will go on.
Just be careful to not scratch/damage the heads on one of the studs when you do it.
